Reaction Steps

Then, 4.44 g of the so-obtained 1-[2,4-bis(methoxymethoxy)phenyl]-3-(4-methoxymethoxyphenyl)-1-propanone was dissolved in methanol, and 38 ml of a hydrochloric acid/methanol reagent was added to the solution and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 30 minutes. After the reaction, the reaction liquid was poured into ice water, neutralized with a saturated solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with water, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated under a reduced pressure to obtain a reaction mixture The reaction mixture was subjected to the column chromatography [69 g of 270-400 mesh Kieselgel 60; 0.5 kg/cm2 ; eluting solvent=hexane/ethyl acetate (1/1)] to obtain 2.55 g (yield=86.7%) of 1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanone.
