<p>A method for producing 2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenylacetic acid comprising a step of reacting a 2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl magnesium halide with ethylene oxide to obtain 2-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl) ethanol; and a step of oxidizing 2-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl) ethanol. The oxidation is conducted preferably further in the presence of a nitroxyl radical, and more preferably in the presence of a salt of a hypohalous acid and/or a salt of a halous acid.</p> |
