A method for producing a halogen-substituted benzenedimethanol represented by the formula (2):
wherein X 1 to X 4 are the same or different and independently represent a halogen atom or the like, provided that at least one of X 1 to X 4 is a halogen atom, by reacting a halogen-substituted terephthalic acid diester represented by the formula (1):
wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and independently represent a C1-C20 alkyl group which may have a substitutent or substituents, and X 1 to X 4 is the same as defined above,
with a borohydride compound in the presence of an alcohol which comprises adding the alcohol into a mixture of the halogen-substituted terephthalic acid diester represented by the formula (1), the borohydride compound and a solvent. |
