To the DMF (10 mL) solution of 1-(2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-yl)piperazine (1.92 g, 7.00 mmol) synthesized in Reference example 61, 2,4-dichloropyrimidine (1.04 g, 7.00 mmol) and triethylamine (1.07 mL, 7.70 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. To the mixture solution, water was added. The extraction was carried out by using ethyl acetate, and the extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Then, the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate 95:5-85:15) to obtain 2-chloro-4-[4-(2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-yl)piperazin-1-yl]pyrimidine 1.68 g (ethyl acetate/hexane=4:1, Rf=0.1, yield 62%) and 4-chloro-2-[4-(2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-yl)piperazin-1-yl]pyrimidine 100 mg (ethyl acetate/hexane=4:1, Rf=0.5, yield 4%).
