2. Description of the Related Art For example, keto acid obtained by reacting N, N-dialkyl-m-aminophenol with phthalic anhydride is an intermediate for producing a fluoran compound useful as a dye for pressure-sensitive recording or heat-sensitive recording. As important. Conventionally, the above keto acid is prepared by adding 0.5 to 2 mol of phthalic anhydride to 1 mol of N, N-dialkyl-m-aminophenol in an inert reaction solvent such as toluene or xylene at a temperature of 80 to 150 ° C. It is manufactured by reacting. According to such a method, usually, the generated keto acid further reacts with N, N-dialkyl-m-aminophenol to produce a colored substance such as a rhodamine compound as a red dye by-product. Therefore, it is necessary to remove coloring substances containing these rhodamine by-products from the keto acid before introducing the obtained keto acid into the thermal dye.

[0003] For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-70350
In the gazette, an alkaline aqueous solution was added to the reaction mixture after the reaction was completed, and the mixture was heated to convert the by-produced rhodamine-based compound into keto acid, and then the alkali salt of keto acid was crystallized and further dissolved in water. Thereafter, a method of purifying and obtaining a keto acid by neutralization has been proposed. However, such a method not only increases the number of steps but also generates a large amount of neutralized wastewater.
