By distilling this oily substance under a reduced pressure, partially purified 1-acetoxy-3-l-menthoxypropan-2-ol was obtained at a boiling point of from 111 to 120° C./25 Pa (0.19 mmHg). Composition of this product when analyzed by the gas chromatography was composed of 5.53% by mass of 3-l-menthoxypropane-1,2-diol, 86.04% by mass of 1-acetoxy-3-l-menthoxypropan-2-ol (yield 92.38% based on 1-chloro-3-l-menthoxypropan-2-ol) and 5.13% by mass of 1,2-diacetoxy-3-l-menthoxypropane.
