Methyl 4-hydroxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (32.0 g) was dissolved in acetic acid (180 ml), and thereto was added conc. sulfuric acid (0.45 ml), and the mixture was heated to 65° C. Then, thereto was slowly added a 70% solution of conc. nitric acid (12.4 g) in acetic acid (60 ml) dropwise, and the mixture was stirred at 65° C. for one hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and poured into ice-water (500 ml), and the mixture was extracted twice with toluene (800 ml). The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (15.0 g).
