Procedure
Subsequently, to the obtained 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexamethoxytriphenylene (28.2 g, 0.069 moles), 57% hydroiodic acid (235.3 g, 1.05 moles) and acetic acid (145 mL) were added, and the solution was refluxed for 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, the solution was cooled down to room temperature, and the precipitated crystal was collected by filtration. The crystal collected by filtration was dried under reduced pressure to give gray type B crystal of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene monohydrate (20.2 g, yield: 85.5%) (the method of JP-A-8-119894). Also, the resultant gray compound was confirmed to be 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene monohydrate by 1H-NMR analysis and measurement of water content by Karl-Fischer measuring instrument. In addition, the measurement results of X-ray powder diffraction spectrum of the type B crystal are shown in FIG. 5 and also, main peak values of the type B crystal are shown in Table 3. Also, the measurement of X-ray powder diffraction spectrum was carried out in the same way as in Example 6.
