Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (270 mg, 0.234 mmol) was then added, followed by heating to reflux for 16 hours under argon atmosphere. After completion of the reaction, a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution was added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with chloroform. The separated organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluent; hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1 (V/V)), and fractions containing the desired compound were concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (1.29 g) as a slightly yellow solid.
