Abstract: The present invention provides a method in which when using (+)-dibenzoyl-D-tartaric acid to optically divide (±)-1-methyl-4-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-3-piperidinone, an ether-based solvent is added and an extremely high yield of (R)-1-methyl-4-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-3-piperidinone (+)-dibenzoyl-D-tartrate is thereby obtained, a slurry thereof is treated with a base, a “three-dimensionally bulky reducing agent” is subsequently used, and cis-(?)-flocinopiperidol is thereby produced with surprisingly high selectivity.

Abstract: The invention addresses the problem of providing a method for producing 2-acetyl-4H,9H-naphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-dione that is suited to industrial production. The invention provides a method for producing 2-acetyl-4H,9H-naphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-dione by reacting 3-bromo-3-buten-2-one and 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone in the presence of a solvent, then obtaining crystals of 2-acetyl-4H,9H-naphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-dione by adding an alcohol-based solvent and/or water to the reaction system, and treating the crystals by using a specific adsorbent in the presence of a solvent.
