To the mixture are added water and benzene under ice-cooling, and the mixture is shaken. The benzene layer is taken, washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and distilled under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue is subjected to silica gel column chromatography (solvent, ethyl acetate:cyclohexane=1:20) and is recrystallized from n-hexane to give 4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(1-ethoxymethylpyrrol-2-yl)thiazole (1.01 g, yield: 48%).
