摘要

A process for the preparation of compounds of general formula (4): (4) (wherein R1 is alkyl having 5 or fewer carbon atoms, alkenyl, or the like); and aromatic compositions containing the compounds. A compound of general formula (4) is prepared by subjecting a compound of general formula (1): (1) (wherein X1 is chloro, bromo, or iodo) to Grignard reaction with R1MgX1, hydrolyzing the obtained compound to form a compound of general formula (3): (3) and reacting this compound with a base in the presence of a phase transf er catalyst.
