To a solution of methyl 4-methoxybenzoate (7.2 kg) in dimethyl sulfoxide (21.6 L) were added sodium methoide (3.046 kg) and acetonitrile (2.135 kg) and the mixture was stirred at 110° C. for 2 hours. Then, water (10.83 L) was added dropwise thereto at 15° C. or lower and further acetonitrile (14.4L) was added to the mixture. Then, 6 N HCl was added thereto to adjust to pH 7.9 and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (72L). The aqueous layer was further extracted with ethyl acetate (36.32 L). The organic layers were combined and concentrated until the content became 17.39 kg. Methanol (17.84 L) was added thereto and water (17.84 L) was added dropwise. Then, the mixture was stirred at 5° C. for 1 hours and crystals deposited were filtered off and washed with methanol-water (1:1) to obtain the titled compound '6.40 kg, 82.7 g). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ:3.90 (3H, s), 4.03 (2H, s), 6.98 (2H, d, J=11.25 Hz), 7.50 (2H, d, J=11.25 Hz).
