In the present invention, the methods of producing a fluorinated cyclic 
benzamidine derivative (A), or a salt thereof, comprise the step of reacting a specific novel compound with 
ammonia or 
imide. The methods of this invention for producing a 
morpholine-substituted 
phenacyl derivative (B), or a salt thereof, comprise reaction of a specific novel compound with 
morpholine, reaction of the product with a halogenating 
reagent, and deketalization of the product. The methods of this invention for a producing cyclic 
benzamidine derivative (C), or a salt thereof, comprise the step of 
coupling compound (A), or a salt thereof, with compound (B), or a salt thereof, in the presence of an 
ether or a 
hydrocarbon. The methods of this invention for recrystallizing a cyclic 
benzamidine derivative (C), or a salt thereof, comprise the steps of dissolving compound (C), or the salt thereof, in a mixed 
solvent comprising an 
alcohol and water, or a mixed 
solvent comprising an 
ether and water, and after 
dissolution, adding additional water to precipitate crystals of compound (C), or the salt thereof.
