A mixture of 3-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1,5-pentanedione on Wang resin (2.0 g, 1.76 mmol), NH4OAc (1.0 g), and AcOH (1.5 mL) in dimethylformamide (40 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 18 h. The resin was filtered, and washed with dimethylformamide (×2) and alternating MeOH and CH2Cl2 (×5), and dried under high vacuum overnight. The dried resin was treated with 50% TFA/CH2Cl2 (15 mL) for 1 h. After filtration of the reaction mixture, the filtrate was concentrated to dryness. The residue was repeatedly dissolved in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) and concentrated to remove traces of TFA.

Procedure:
A mixture of m-toluoyl chloride (22 g, 0.17 mol) and 1,4-dichlorobenzene (120 g, 0.82 mol) was heated to 100° C. in a flask. Aluminum chloride (60 g, 0.45 mol) was added in one portion. Hydrogen chloride started to evolve from the solution. The mixture was heated to 170° C. in 30 min. and stirred at this temperature for 3 hours. The resulting brownish solution was cooled to about 80° C. and poured onto ice. Ether (50 ml) was added. The organic layer was separated and distilled under vacuum after the removal of ether. The residue from distillation was recrystallized twice from hexane to give 20 g of white crystals (53%).

Procedure:
Into an autoclave (inner volume: 9 ml, made of SUS 316, equipped with a manometer) were charged 0.104 g of methylhydroquinone, 3.4078 g of methanol and 8.3 mg of iron powders (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Ind., Ltd.). The reaction was started by elevating the temperature up to 350° C. with sand bath. The pressure during the reaction was 20 MPa. After 2 hours, the autoclave was quickly cooled and the reaction solution was taken out from the autoclave when the temperature was cooled back to the room temperature. The measurement according to the process described above revealed that the conversion of methylhydroquinone was 16% by mole, the selectivity of dimethylhydroquinone was 82% by mole and the selectivity of trimethylhydroquinone was 3% by mole. No tetramethylhydroquinone was produced.
