A process for the production of an alcohol compound represented by the formula (3):
wherein X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , X 4 , Z, R and n are as defined below, comprising reacting a phenol represented by the formula (1) :
wherein X 1 , X 2 , X 3 and X 4 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; Z represents an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom; and R represents a halogen-substituted alkenyl group, with a haloalcohol represented by the formula (2):
wherein Y represents a chlorine atom or a bromine atom; and n represents an integer of 2 or 3, in a biphase system composed of a water-immiscible organic solvent and an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst. |
