Procedure

2-Fluoro-4-hydroxybenzonitrile (350 mg, 2.55 mmol) and 3,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol (542 mg, 3.06 mmol) were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (7.0 mL), and triphenylphosphine (803 mg, 3.06 mmol) and a 40% diethyl azodicarboxylate toluene solution (1.40 mL, 3.06 mmol) were added thereto at room temperature, and then, the resulting mixture was stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere at 50° C. for 5 hours. After the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=100:0 to 65:35 (v/v)), whereby the objective title compound was obtained as a white solid (676 mg, yield: 89%).
