The reaction mixture was poured into 1N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. After the organic layer was successively washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, water and a saturated aqueous NaCl solution, and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, it was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent: hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1) to obtain crude 3-fluoro-2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzaldehyde. According to a method similar to Example (28-3) and Example (28-4), from the crude compound obtained in the above, tert-butyl 2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)oxy]-3-fluoro-6-methylbenzoate was obtained (624 mg, three-step total yield: 6%).
