4.0 g of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and 12.5 g of (S)-(-)-2-methylbutanol were refluxed for 6 hours in toluene in the presence of sulfuric acid, while the generated water was removed out. Subsequently, the reaction solution was washed with water to remove sulfuric acid out. After the resulting solution was dried and concentrated, the concentrate was purified by column chromatography to obtain 5.0 g of the objective ester compound (liquid state at room temperature, [α]D23 =+4.9° (CHCl3)). (Yield: 83%)
