The present invention provides an industrially advantageous method of producing aminophenol compounds represented by the formula (1) by a simple and easy procedure at a high yield and a high purity. The present invention provides a method of producing an aminophenol compound represented by the formula (1): (wherein each of R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, is a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl group or the like; R1 and R2, taken together with the adjacent nitrogen atom, may form a 5- or 6-membered heterocycle with or without other intervening heteroatoms; the heterocycle may be substituted by 1 to 3 substituents selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group and the like; and the hydroxyl group in the formula (1) is substituted on the 2- or 4-position to the amino group on the phenyl ring), which comprises allowing a cyclohexanedione compound represented by the formula (2) to react with an amine compound represented by the formula (3) (wherein R1 and R2 are as defined above), under a neutral or basic condition.
本发明提供了一种工业上优越的方法,通过简单易行的程序高产高纯度地制备由式(1)表示的氨基苯酚化合物。本发明提供了一种制备由式(1)表示的氨基苯酚化合物的方法:(其中R1和R2中的每一个,可以相同或不同,是氢原子,取代或未取代的低碳基团等;R1和R2与相邻氮原子结合,可以形成具有或不具有其他介于杂原子的5-或6-成员杂环;该杂环可以被1至3个取代基取代,所述取代基选自羟基、取代或未取代的低碳基团、取代或未取代的芳基团、取代或未取代的芳氧基团等;并且式(1)中的羟基取代在苯环上的氨基基团的2-或4-位置),其中包括在中性或碱性条件下使由式(2)表示的环己酮二酮化合物与由式(3)表示的胺化合物(其中R1和R2如上所定义)反应。
