A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AN AROMATIC COMPOUND BY ELECTROPHILIC REACTION AND AROMATIC COMPOUND DERIVATIVES

摘要

There are disclosed a process for producing an aromatic compound of the formula (I) which comprises reacting an electrophilic reagent with a compound of the formula (II) shown below: ¢wherein X1 and X2, which may be the same or different, are each a halogen atom; R is a group represented by the formula: (wherein R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, are each a hydrogen atom or a C1-C6 alkyl group, Z is a cyano group, -CO-OR3 (wherein R3 is a hydrogen atom or a C1-C6 alkyl group) or -CO-NR4R5 (wherein R4 and R5, which may be the same or different, are each a hydrogen atom or a C1-C6 alkyl group)); and Y is a nitro group, a halogen atom, a C1-C6 haloalkyl group or a group represented by the formula: (wherein R6, R7 and R8, which may be the same or different, are each a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a cyano group)! to introduce a substituent into the aromatic ring selectively and a novel compound prepared therefrom.
