In a production method of the present disclosure, a 1,1-binaphthyl precursor derivative, an organic acid, and an iodinating or brominating agent are mixed. The 1,1-binaphthyl precursor derivative has a 1,1-binaphthyl skeleton and has an electron-donating group at the 2-position of the 1,1-binaphthyl skeleton and at the 2-position of the 1,1-binaphthyl skeleton, and the electron-donating group contains an oxygen atom directly bonded to the skeleton. With the production method of the present disclosure, a 1,1-binaphthyl derivative having a substituent introduced at the 8-position and/or 8-position of the 1,1-binaphthyl skeleton can be obtained. The 1,1-binaphthyl derivative obtained by the production method of the present disclosure can be a compound further having a substituent introduced at at least one position selected from the 4-position, 4-position, 5-position, 5-position, 6-position, and 6-position of the 1,1-binaphthyl skeleton.

Provided are ion channel antagonists/blockers and uses thereof. Specifically, it provides the compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, stereoisomers, solvates or prodrugs, preparation method therefor and application thereof. Definition of each group in the formula can be found in the specification for details. Provided is also pharmaceutical composition useful for treatment of heart disease and other ion channel related diseases. ##STR00001##
