The method of decomposing esters using an acid as a catalyst without using an alkali is known as a general ester hydrolysis method, but in the case of cinnamic acid esters, the reaction is slow and unreacted raw materials may remain. In many cases, the yield and quality of the desired product are poor, and further purification is required. For example, the aforementioned JP-A-Sho G
O-112736 discloses a method using an acid with a pKa of 2.0 or less, but when a water-resistant l'11 liquid is used, the reaction is slow and the conversion rate of cinnamic acid esters is 2.3
.. At 2%, a large amount of unreacted raw material remains. Further, this method exemplifies a method using a solid 1'12 catalyst, but in this case, the produced cinnamic acids must be separated from the solid acid by a method such as extraction.
