Into a reaction vessel that was charged nitrogen, 5.00 g (23.1 mmol) of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-1,4-benzenedimethanol, 15.00 g of water and 6.85 g (46.3 mmol) of 27% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution were charged subsequently, and heated to 65° C. with stirring. The starting compound was completely dissolved to be clear solution. Then, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature with stirring. At this time, some precipitate was observed. To the reaction mixture, 20.0 g of toluene was added and then 4.33 g (32.6 mmol) of dimethyl sulfate was added dropwise over 7.5 hours at room temperature. After the addition, the pH of the aqueous layer became 13.5. The layers of the reaction mixture were separated, and the pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to about 3 by adding 10% sulfric acid. The aqueous layer was extracted with 30 ml of ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers were washed- with 30 ml of water, concentrated, and dried under a reduced pressure to give 5.22 g of crude 4-methoxymethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzenemethanol. The crude 4-methoxymethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzenemethanol was subjected to content analysis by GC internal standard method (Analytical method 1 given later). GC area percentage of the crude product: 85% of the objective compound, 1% of the starting compound and 13% of the by-product compound Content analysis by GC internal standard method: 85% of the objective compound and 86% of the yield of pure compound
