Abstract
To provide a novel method for producing a fluorinated benzenedimethanol compound useful as a starting material or an intermediate in the production of agricultural or medicinal chemicals in an industrially advantageous manner. A method for producing a fluorinated benzenedimethanol compound according to the present invention comprises the steps of reducing the nitrile groups of a fluorinated benzenedinitrile compound to obtain a fluorinated xylylenediamine compound and then converting the aminomethyl groups of the fluorinated xylylenediamine compound into hydroxymethyl groups.
Claims11
A method for producing a fluorinated benzenedimethanol compound, comprising reducing the nitrile groups of a fluorinated benzenedinitrile compound represented by formula (1):
- 4
- (wherein X represents a chlorine atom or a fluorine atom, and m represents an integer of from 0 to 3, provided that when m is 2 or more, x may be the same or different) to obtain a fluorinated xylylenediamine compound represented by formula (2):
- 5
- (wherein X and m have the same meanings as defined above), and converting the aminomethyl groups of said fluorinated xylylenediamine compound into hydroxymethyl groups to produce a fluorinated benzenedimethanol compound represented by formula (3):
- 6
- (wherein X and m have the same meanings as defined above).
