PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a corresponding p-hydroxyphenylalkanol (III) from a phenol (I). SOLUTION: Formula (1) in the presence of a base (Wherein, R 1 and R 2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 5 to 8 carbon atoms, an alkylcycloalkyl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, A phenyl group which may be substituted by an aralkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms or an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.) To a phenol represented by the formula (II): CH 2 ＣＨCH (R 3 ) -CH ( R 4) - (CH 2) n -OH (II) (R 3, R 4 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a carbon number 1 to 8 And n represents the number of 0-7. Formula (III) characterized by reacting an unsaturated alcohol represented by the formula (III): (Wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 and n each have the same meaning as described above). |
