PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CYCLOPROPYLPHENOL DERIVATIVE

摘要

A method of easily synthesizing a cyclopropylphenol derivative. The method, which is a process for producing a cyclopropylphenol derivative represented by the general formula (10): [wherein R<SUP>1</SUP>, R<SUP>2</SUP>, R<SUP>3</SUP>, and R<SUP>4</SUP> each independently is hydrogen, etc.; Z is hydrogen, etc.; and Y<SUP>1</SUP>, Y<SUP>2</SUP>, and Y<SUP>3</SUP> each independently is hydrogen, etc.], comprises reacting a compound represented by the general formula (7): [wherein the symbols have the same meanings as defined above; X is halogeno; and V is hydrogen, etc.] with a metal, metal salt, or organometallic compound represented by the general formula M<SUP>2</SUP> (8) to obtain a compound represented by the general formula (9): [wherein the symbols have the same meanings as defined above]. When V is a -W-R<SUP>5</SUP> group, hydrolysis is further conducted. Thus, a compound of the general formula (10) is obtained.
