Reaction Steps

4-Diethoxymethyl-benzaldehyde (4.16 g) and 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl cyanide (3.54 g) were subjected to condensation in accordance with process A of (production process 2), to thereby produce (Z)-3-(4-diethoxymethyl-phenyl)-2-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-acrylonitrile (6.54 g, yield: 89%). The thus-produced (Z)-3-(4-diethoxymethyl-phenyl)-2-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-acrylonitrile (1.84 g) was dissolved in methanol, and water and 2N sulfuric acid were added to the resultant solution, followed by stirring, to thereby produce the target product (1.20 g, yield: 82%).
