6-Benzyloxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline (1.20 g, 5 mmol), 1-(3-chloropropoxy)-4-trifluoromethoxybenzene (1.42 g, 5.58 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.04 g, 7.5 mmol) and sodium iodide (0.90 g, 6 mmol) were heated and stirred at 90° C. in NMP (10 ml) overnight. Water was added thereto, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and dried over sodium sulfate. The result was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=75:25) to afford the title compound as a yellow oil (2.13 g, 93%).
