Then, the resulting solution was stirred at 70° C. for 5 hours. The solution was cooled with ice and filtered to separate precipitated crystals and an inorganic salt, the obtained solid was dissolved in a solution containing hexane and toluene (4:1), and then the solution was purified by silica gel column chromatography. The purified product was recrystallized from ethanol to yield 18.7 g of 3,5-difluoro-[2-fluoro-4-(4-propylphenyl)phenyl]benzene.
