In the present invention, the purity of the final object can be improved by passing the compound represented by the formula (3) through an acetylation reaction as an intermediate and separating the purified compound of the formula (3).

The deacetylation reaction is carried out under the conditions using a base and a polar solvent. As the base, an alkali metal salt or an alkaline earth metal salt compound may be used. Specifically, at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydroxide of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal or a C 1 -C 6 alkoxide may be included. More specifically, the base may be at least one selected from the group consisting of LiOH, NaOH, KOH, Ca (OH) 2 , sodium methoxide, and sodium ethoxide, and preferably sodium hydroxide or sodium methoxide Can be used. The base may be used in an amount of 10 to 30 molar ratio based on 1 mol of the compound represented by the formula (3). As the polar solvent, at least one selected from the group consisting of water and C 1 -C 6 alcohols can be used.

It is best to use concentrated hydrochloric acid. The aqueous hydrochloric acid solution or concentrated hydrochloric acid may be used in an amount of 10 to 50 molar ratio based on the compound represented by the formula (4).
