The oily product was dissolved in 300 ml of

hexane by heating, followed by recrystallization, which afforded 5.3 g of 2-(3-hydroxy-propyloxy)-5-trifluoromethylpyridine as almost pure crystals (44% yield), m.p. 46.6°C.
A mixture of 4.0 g of 2-(3-hydroxypropyloxy)-5-trifluoromethylpyridine, 3.4 ml of triethylamine and 25 ml of toluene was vigorously stirred under a nitrogen stream, while cooling in chilled water bath to 5°C. Then, 1.63 g of methanesulfonyl chloride was added dropwise to this mixture at such a rate that the reaction temperature did not exceed 10°C, and the chilled water bath was removed. After further stirring continued at room temperature for 1.5 hours, 250 ml of water was added thereto, and the mixture was vigorously stirred for further 30 minutes, followed by phase separation. The toluene layer was washed once with water, dried with magnesium sulfate, and concentrat¬ed, which afforded 5 g of 2-(3-methanesulfonyloxypropyloxy)-5-trifluoromethylpyridine as an oily product (92% yield).

A mixture of 5 g of 2-(3-methanesulfonyloxypropyloxy)-5-trifluoromethyl-pyridine, 5 g of 4-(3,3-dichloro-2-propenyloxy)-2,6-dichlorophenol, 2.64 g of potassium carbonate and 300 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was vigorously stirred at room temperature for 4 days. Then, 300 ml of 2 N hydrochloric acid was added to this mixture, and extracted twice with toluene at a total volume of 300 ml. The combined toluene layer was successively washed with 2 N hydrochloric acid and aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dried with magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to obtain about 8 g of an oily product. The oily product was subjected to silica gel chromatography, which afforded 6.0 g of 3,5-dichloro-l-(3,3-dichloro-2-propenyloxy)-4-[3-(5-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-2-yloxy)propyloxy]benzene (70% yield).

The following are production examples for the intermediate compounds of the general formula [II] or [III].
Intermediate Production Example 1
A reaction vessel was charged with 5.0 g of 4-(benzyloxy)phenol and 100 ml of carbon tetrachloride, to which a solution 5.43 g of t-butyl hypochlorite dissolved in 5 ml of carbon tetrachloride was slowly added dropwise, while stirring under ice cooling. After 24 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into water, followed by phase separa¬tion. The organic layer (1.e., carbon tetrachloride layer) was washed with water, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to obtain a crude product. The crude product was subjected to silica gel chromatography, which afforded 4.24 g of 2,4-dichloro-4-(benzyloxy)phenol (63% yield).
A reaction vessel was charged with 5.10 g of 1,3-dibromopropane, 2.40 g of potassium carbonate and 50 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide, to which a solution of 4.24 g of 2,6-dichloro-4-(benzyloxy)phenol dissolved in 10 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was slowly added dropwise. After stirring at room temperature for 24 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into water, and extracted twice with 150 ml of diethyl ether. The combined ether layer was washed with water, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to obtain a crude product. The crude product was subjected to silica gel chromatography, which afforded 4.24 g of 3,5-dichloro-4-(3-bromopropyloxy)-l-(benzyloxy)benzene (68% yield).
A reaction vessel was charged with 4.24 g of 3,5-dichloro-4-(3-bromopropyl-oxy)-l-(benzyloxy)benzene, 1.33 g of benzoic acid, 1.65 g of potassium carbonate and 20 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide. After stirring at room temperature for 24 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into water, and extracted twice with 150 ml of diethyl ether. The combined ether layer was washed with water, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to obtain a crude product. The crude product was subjected to silica gel chromatography, which afforded 3.75 g of 3,5-dichloro-4-(3-benzoyloxy-propyloxy)-l-(benzoyloxy)benzene (80% yield).

A reaction vessel was charged with 3.75 g of 3,5-dichloro-4-(3-benzoyl-oxypropyloxy)-l-(benzyloxy)benzene, 5.0 g of 10% aqueous potassium hydroxide solution and 50 ml of methanol. After stirring at room temperature for 24 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated. The concentrate was poured into water, and extracted twice with 150 m of diethyl ether. The combined ether layer was washed with water, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to obtain a crude product. The crude product was subjected to silica gel chromatography, which afforded 2.56 g of 3-(2,6-dichloro-4-(benzyloxy)phenoxy)-l-propyl alcohol (90% yield).
A mixture of 0.5 g of 3-(2,6-dichloro-4-(benzyloxy)phenoxy)-l-propyl alcohol thus obtained, 0.1 g of an oily mixture containing 60% sodium hydride, and 3 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, 0.3 g of 2-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine was added to this mixture, followed by heating to 100°C. After stirring continued for 1 hour, the mixture was poured into 50 m of ice-water, and extracted with toluene at a total volume of 50 ml. The combined toluene layer was successively washed with diluted hydrochloric acid and aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dried with magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was silica gel chromatography, which afforded 0.5 g of l-benzyloxy-3,5-dichloro-4-[3-(5-trifluoro-methylpyridin-2-yloxy)propyloxy]benzene (67% yield).

A reaction vessel was charged with 0.5 g of l-benzyioxy-3,5-dichloro-4-(3-(5-trifluoromethylpyridin-2-yloxy)propyloxy)benzene and 50 ml of ethyl acetate, and the air in the vessel was replaced with nitrogen. Then, 0.3 g of 10% palladium carbon was added, and the nitrogen in the vessel was replaced with hydrogen, followed by stirring at room temperature for 24 hours. The hydrogen in the vessel was replaced with nitrogen, after which the reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, and the filtrate was concen-

trated, which afforded 0.36 g of 3,5-dichloro-4-(3-(5-trifluoromethylpyridin-2-yloxy)-propyloxy)phenol (92% yield).
