At the conclusion of the reaction, the catalyst and the insoluble matter were separated by filtration and the filtrate was subjected to quantitative analysis by HPLC. Formation of the objective substance, (Z)-2-methoxy-5-[2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)vinyl]aniline (objective substance 6; represented by the above formula (6)) (6.52 g, 20.7 mmol, 83%), was confirmed, as was formation of a by-product (E)-2-methoxy-5-[2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)vinyl]aniline (by-product 7; represented by the above formula (7)) (0.55 g, 1.73 mmol, 6.9%) and a by-product 2-methoxy-5-[2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]aniline (by-product 8; represented by the above formula (8)) (0.52 g, 1.63 mmol, 6.5%). Formation was not observed for the by-product 2-(4-methoxy-3-nitrophenyl)-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)ethane (by-product 9; represented by the above formula (9)).
