Procedure

In 200 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide were dissolved with heating 20 g of 3-hydroxyphthalonitrile and 10.55 g of potassium carbonate, to which 20 g of 1-chloroethyl-trimethylsilane were added dropwise at 30° C. in the atmosphere of argon. Immediately after the addition, the mixture was stirred for 36 hours while maintaining the reaction temperature at 85°-100° C. The reaction vessel was then cooled to room temperature and 200 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid was added. The mixture was extracted with 1 liter of toluene. The organic layer was washed well with water and water was removed with magnesium sulfate. Thereafter, toluene was removed by distillation and the residue was purified with a toluene/silica gel column to obtain 16.9 g (yield: 49.9%) of a compound having the formula (XVIII) below. The compound is in the form of white crystals and has a melting point of 67.5° C. The IR spectrum of the compound is shown in FIG. 4. ##STR40##
