After cooling to −78° C., 4-methoxybenzonitrile (3.995 g)/tetrahydrofuran solution (20 ml) was added dropwise thereinto. After the mixture was stirred for 1 hr as it was, the cooling bath was removed, and then it was stirred overnight. An aqueous solution of saturated ammonium chloride was added thereto, and then the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The resulting organic layer was washed with water, dried (over MgSO4) and evaporated. A small amount of ethyl acetate was added to the resulting residue, and then the resulting insoluble matters were collected by filtration, to give 5.395 g of the title compound as a yellow solid.
