An object of the present invention is to provide an industrially useful and novel process for producing a 1,3-benzodioxole derivative, with high yield and few impurities, including a novel chlorination reaction of a benzene ring. In the novel process for producing a 1,3-benzodioxole derivative, it has been found that an industrially useful and novel chlorination reaction of a benzene ring is conducted by using sulfuryl chloride with high yield and few impurities. Based on the finding, the invention has been accomplished.

The present invention relates to a biaryl derivative expressed by the chemical formula 1, a method for producing the biaryl derivative, a pharmaceutical composition comprising same, and use of same, the biaryl derivative expressed by the chemical formula 1, as a GPR120 agonist, promoting GLP-1 generation in the gastro-intestinal tract, reducing insulin resistance in the liver, muscles and the like from anti-inflammatory activity in the macrophage, pancreatic cells and the like, and allowing effective use in prevention or treatment of inflammation or metabolic diseases such as diabetes, complications from diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, fatty liver disease, and osteoporosis.
