PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a deuterated norborneol and a deuterated dinorbornyl ether; and to provide a method for producing an unsaturated carboxylic ester of a deuterated norbornyl synthesized by using the deuterated norborneol and/or the deuterated dinorbornyl ether or the like produced by the method as a raw material.
SOLUTION: The method for producing a compound represented by general formulas (I) (wherein, a part or the whole of the hydrogen atoms in a norbornene skeleton is a deuterium atom; and two or more kinds of compounds represented by general formula (I) and mutually having different structures can be included therein) and/or (II) (wherein, a part or the whole of the hydrogen atoms in a norbornene skeleton is a deuterium atom; and two or more kinds of compounds represented by general formula (II) and mutually having different structures can be included therein) involves deuterating 2-norbornene in deuterium oxide in the presence of an acid having pKa ≤1.
