Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-benzyl-2-chloro-N-[(3RS)-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-(4-methoxyphenoxy)butyl]acetamide (7.41 g) in THF (741 mL) was added sodium tert-butoxide (1.37 g), and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hr, and then stirred while warming to room temperature for 14 hr. To the reaction mixture was added water, and the mixture was concentrated. The concentrated residue was diluted with water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The obtained extract was washed with brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (6.02 g).
