Patent ID: 8110334

Claim:
A method of producing a cyclic compound chosen from wherein R 3A is a substituted methyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, a 1-substituted ethyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, a 1-substituted n-propyl group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, a 1-branched alkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, a silyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an acyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, a 1-substituted alkoxyalkyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, a cyclic ether group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkoxycarbonyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and an alkoxycarbonylalkyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms; and X 2 is hydrogen atom or a halogen atom; L 1 is a single bond or a divalent organic group selected from a linear or branched alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; l 1 is 0 or 1; m is an integer of 1 to 4, m 3 is an integer of 1 to 2; and m 4 is 1, comprising a first stage reaction in which an aldehyde compound (A1b) having 2 to 59 carbon atoms, a reactive functional group and 1 to 4 formyl groups is allowed to react with a reagent for introducing an acid-dissociating functional group, thereby synthesizing an aldehyde compound (A1c) having the acid-dissociating functional group introduced, and a second stage reaction in which the aldehyde compound (A1c) and a phenol compound (A2) are subjected to a condensation reaction.
