The stirring and heating for the autoclave were started and the temperature thereof was kept to 160 C. When the temperature reached to 160 C., the pressure was 2.2 MPa. The reaction was continued for 1 hr. Then, the autoclave was cooled to room temperature. After the cooling, the pressure showed 1.0 MPa. At this time, the amount of absorbed hydrogen was 104 mol % based on 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene-1,4-dimethanol charged. Hydrogen inside a reactor was removed, and thereafter the reaction mixture was recovered and the catalyst was filtered. [0059] The reaction mixture was heated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent by distillation, and further by gradually decreasing the pressure, a fraction distilled at 665 Pas at a temperature of from 100 to 105 C. was recovered. The fraction was analyzed with nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (NMR) analysis and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) to identify 98% 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-methyl-benzyl alcohol. [0060] Further, using the distilled 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-methyl-benzyl alcohol as an authentic sample, a part of the reaction mixture recovered in the above reaction was analyzed with the gas chromatography internal standard method.

The stirring and heating for the autoclave were started and the temperature thereof was kept to 160 C. The pressure at this time was 0.28 MPa. Hydrogen was charged to the autoclave to increase the pressure to 0.53 MPa. Then, hydrogen was further fed to the autoclave to keep the pressure at 0.53 MPa, and when the hydrogen absorbing amount reached to 130 mol % based on 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene-1,4-dimethanol charged while watching the hydrogen flow rate, the reaction was stopped. The reaction required 30 minutes. [0069] Then, the autoclave was cooled to room temperature, gases inside the reactor were removed, and thereafter the reaction mixture was recovered and the catalyst was filtered. [0070] The resulting reaction mixture was analyzed with the gas chromatography internal standard method. In result, the conversion of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene-1,4-dimethanol was 99.5%, the yield of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-methyl-benzyl alcohol was 82% (on the basis of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene-1,4-dimethanol), and the yield of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-p-xylene was 11% (on the basis of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene-1,4-dimethanol). |

The reaction temperature was controlled at about 50 C. The reaction was continued until the consumption of hydrogen ceased. The residual pressure was released and the autoclave purged with nitrogen. The spent catalyst and inorganic salts were removed by filtration. The solvent was distilled from the filtrate. And then toluene (150 ml) and pyridine (28.8 g were added to the residue.

Subsequently, the temperature of the autoclave was raised to 120 C., then hydrogen was fed to the autoclave with maintaining the pressure at 0.5 MPa, and the reaction was carried out at a temperature of 120 C. for 5 hours. The ratio of absorption of hydrogen at this time was 63%. The temperature of the autoclave was further raised up to 150 C. over a period of 20 minutes, then hydrogen was fed to the autoclave with maintaining the pressure at 0.75 MPa, and the reaction was further, carried out at a temperature of 150 C. for 5 hours and 10 minutes. The ratio of absorption of hydrogen through the whole reaction was 102%. Then, feeding of hydrogen was terminated, and the autoclave was cooled to room temperature. Subsequently, the catalyst was filtered out, and the reaction liquid was taken out.A small amount of a sample was withdrawn and subjected to GC analysis. As a result of the analysis, a peak of the 2, 3, 5, 6-tetrafluorobenzene-1,4-dicarbaldehyde as a raw material was not more than the limit of detection, the formation ratio of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-methylbenzyl alcohol was 80.8%, the formation ratio of 1,4-dimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene was 8.6%, and the formation ratio of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene-1,4-dimethanol was 6.9%. |

With dmap; dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide; In acetonitrile; at 20℃; for 10h; | General procedure: A solution of acid 2 (2 mmol) and substituted tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol(2 mmol) in CH3CN (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature, to whicha catalytic amount of DMAP (0.1 g)and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (2.4 mmol) was added after the solid in thesolution has absolutely dissolved. And then the mixture was stirred for another10 h. The precipitate of DCU was removed by filtration through a Buchnerfunnel, and the filtrate was washed with two 20 mL portions of saturated sodiumcarbonate solution and three 20 mL portions of saturated sodium chloridesolution. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate andconcentrated with a rotary evaporator, and theresidue was purified by silica gel column-chromatography(ethyl acetate/petroleum ether) to give thedesired products 3. |

With dmap; dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide; In acetonitrile; at 20℃; for 10h; | General procedure: A solution of 1 (8 mmol) in THF/H2O (40 mL THF, 10 mL H2O) was cooled to 0oC, to which lithium hydroxide (9.6 mmol) and hydrogen peroxide (19.2 mmol) was added. After 12 hours reaction, a small amount of sodium sulfite was added in to remove the excess hydrogen peroxide. Then 2 N HCl was added dropwise to adjust the pH value to 2-3. The reaction mixture was extracted with ether (2×30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (50 mL), concentrated under vacuum, and puried by silica gel chromatography to get pure acids 2 and auxiliary sultam. A solution of acid 2 (2 mmol) and substituted tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol (2 mmol) in CH3CN (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature, to which a catalytic amount of DMAP (0.1 g) and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (2.4 mmol) was added after the solid in the solution has absolutely dissolved. And then the mixture was stirred for another 10 h. The precipitate of DCU was removed by filtration through a Buchner funnel, and the filtrate was washed with two 20 mL portions of saturated sodium carbonate solution and three 20 mL portions of saturated sodium chloride solution. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated with a rotary evaporator, and the residue was purified by silica gel column-chromatography (ethyl acetate/petroleum ether) to give the desired products 3.
