Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a compound represented by Formula (1a), (1b), or (1c), comprising a step of reducing a compound represented by Formula (3) in the presence of a metal complex represented by Formula (5), an inorganic base, and a solvent under a hydrogen atmosphere to obtain a compound represented by Formula (4). In the formula, Ar1 is an aryl group, each Are is independently a phenyl group or the like, W is a biphenyl group or the like, Z is an ethylene group that is substituted with a phenyl group or the like, and L is a chlorine atom or if Z has a phenyl group or a C1-3 alkoxyphenyl group, L is one of carbon atoms constituting the phenyl group or the C1-3 alkoxyphenyl group.
