It is an object of the present invention to provide a process for producing a polycyclic aromatic aminophenol compound which is low in the number of steps, low in cost, and high in stability. A process for producing a polycyclic aromatic aminophenol compound, which comprises reacting a compound represented by the following general formula (1) with an aromatic amino compound. (In the general formula (1), n is an integer of 1 to 8, Ar represents a benzene ring which may have a substituent or a naphthalene ring which may have a substituent, and R 1 and R 2 are each independently , A hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, or an aromatic group which may have a substituent, and R 3 represents a hydroxyl group, a methoxy group or a halogen atom) |
