PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a new compound useful as an intermediate for additive or sensitive material of a resist. SOLUTION: The objective compound is 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-2,5- dimethylbenzyl)-4-methylphenol of the formula. The compound can be produced by reacting (A) 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethylbenzyl)-4-methylphenol with (B) formaldehyde at a molar ratio of 1:(2-10) in the presenceof 0.5-5 times mol (based on the component A) of an alkaline catalyst such as an inorganic base in 1-10 times weight (based on the component A) of a reaction solvent. |
