Diacetin is a compound which has one hydroxyl group and two acetyl groups and is expected to have properties different from other acetin derivatives such as monoacetin and triacetin, such as having a good moisturizing effect in structure. is there. However, since the reaction is a sequential reaction, it is generally difficult to obtain only diacetin by applying acetylation. In fact, the concentration of diacetin in the acetin mixture obtained by the above-mentioned known method is as low as about 53%, and it is difficult to exert the effect peculiar to diacetin. In addition, since a distillation step that requires high energy consumption is required, there is still room for improvement as an industrial production method.
