Provided are a novel method for producing a 3-hydroxybiphenyl compound, and a novel method for producing a derivative of a 3-hydroxybiphenyl compound using the same. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for producing a compound represented by formula (3), which comprises a step for reacting a compound represented by formula (1) (in the formula, R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are the same or different from each other and represent a
hydrogen atom or the like, and R6 represents a phenylsulfonyl group or the like) with a compound represented by formula (2) (in the formula, a combination of R8 and R9 represents a combination of R8 being CH2NR12R13 or the like, R9 is a combination of
hydrogen atoms or the like, R10 and R11 are the same or different from each other and represent a
hydrogen atom or the like, and a combination of R8 and R9 is a combination of hydrogen atoms or the like). A compound represented by formula (1) (in the formula, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R10 and R11 represent the same meanings as the
preamble) is obtained by reacting a compound represented by formula (2) in the presence of 0.1-5 moles of a base per 1 mole of the compound represented by formula (1) (in the formula, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R10 and R11 represent the same meanings as the
preamble), and a compound represented by formula (3) (in the formula, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R10 and R11 represent the same meanings as the
preamble).
