There are provided a method of producing a nucleic acid compound, in which a nucleic acid compound in which any one of a 3-position or a 5-position of a ribose structure is protected by a structure represented by Formula (1), and the nucleic acid compound. In Formula (1), a ring A represents a condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon ring or an aromatic heterocyclic ring, YA's each independently represent —OCR2—, —NRCR2—, or —SCR2—, R's each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aromatic group, or an aromatic group-substituted alkyl group, k represents an integer of 1 to 5, RA's are each independently an aliphatic hydrocarbon group or an organic group having an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, at least one aliphatic hydrocarbon group in k pieces of RA's has 12 or more carbon atoms, and the ring A may further have a substituent in addition to YA and RA.
