Method for producing 2-(hydroxyphenyl) benzoxazoles

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method of 2-(hydroxyphenyl) benzoxazoles.SOLUTION: A method of producing 2-(hydroxyphenyl) benzoxazoles is characterized by reacting a 2-nitro phenol compound having, in a molecule, at least one a benzene ring substituted with a hydroxyl group at one and a nitro group at the other of mutually adjacent carbon atoms or a condensed polycyclic hydrocarbon ring comprising the benzene ring, with a methyl phenol compound having a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and a hydroxyl group.
