To a glass-made three-necked flask (volume: 500 ml) with a condenser, 133.0 g (759 mmol) of α,α′-dichloro-o-xylene, 13.3 g of N,N-dimethylformamide and 42.2 g (253 mmol) of sodium octanoate (sodium caprylate) were added. After the mixture was heated and stirred at 110° C. for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was analyzed by the gas chromatography. The conversion of α,α′-dichloro-o-xylene, the yield of [2-(chloromethyl)phenyl]methyl octanoate (based on sodium octanoate), and the molar ratio of the [2- (chloromethyl)phenyl]methyl octanoate produced to the diester compound as a by-product are shown in Table 1 below.
