Disclosed is a method for producing an (alkylphenyl)alkylcyclohexane comprising a step wherein an alkylbenzene and an alkylcyclohexene or alkylcyclohexanol are condensed in the presence of an acid catalyst. Also disclosed is an (alkylphenyl)alkylcyclohexane represented by the formula (8) below. An (alkylphenyl)alkylcyclohexane obtained by such a production method is converted into an alkylbiphenyl, a biphenylpolycarboxylic acid or a biphenylpolycarboxylic acid anhydride. This production method enables to easily and selectively obtain an (alkylphenyl)alkylcyclohexane and an alkylbiphenyl. (8) (In the formula, R1-4 represent an alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms, m represents an integer of 0-2, n' represents an integer of 2-5, and the other conditions are as defined in claim 18.)
