A method for producing a halogen-substituted benzenedimethanol represented by the formula (2):
wherein X 1 , X 2 , X 3 and X 4 are the same or different and each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom,
provided that X 1 , X 2 , X 3 and X 4 are not hydrogen atoms at the same time,
by reacting a halogen-substituted terephthalic acid represented by the formula (1):
wherein X 1 , X 2 , X 3 and X 4 are the same meanings as defined above,
with a borohydride compound in an organic solvent, followed by contacting the obtained reaction mixture with hydrogen chloride at 40 to 70°C. |
