Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a haloalkyl alkoxymethyl ether compound of the following general formula (1′), wherein X¹ represents a halogen atom, R¹ represents a hydrogen atom, an n-alkyl group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, or a phenyl group, and n represents an integer of 2 to 7, the process comprising the steps of converting a haloalkyl alkoxymethyl ether compound of the following general formula (1) into a nucleophilic reagent, (2n+2)-alkoxymethoxyalkyl compound, of the following general formula (2), wherein M¹ represents Li, MgZ¹, CuZ¹, or CuLiZ¹, Z¹ represents a halogen atom or Z², subsequently subjecting the nucleophilic reagent, (2n+2)-alkoxymethoxyalkyl compound (2), to a nucleophilic addition reaction with propylene oxide of the following formula (3), to obtain a hydroxyalkyl alkoxymethyl ether compound of the following general formula (4), and subjecting the hydroxyalkyl alkoxymethyl ether compound (4) to a halogenation reaction to obtain the aforesaid haloalkyl alkoxymethyl ether compound (1′).
