A suspension of 7-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-1-benzothiepin-5(2H)-one (3.87 g) and sodium methoxide (5.0 g) in dimethyl carbonate (50 ml) was heated at reflux for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was mixed with 1 N hydrochloric acid (100 ml) and was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride and was dried with magnesium sulfate. The resulting organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a yellow oily substance (4.96 g). Into a mixture of the thus-obtained oily substance, sodium borohydride (0.7 g) and THF (50 ml) was added dropwise at −40° C. methanol (5 ml), and the resulting mixture was stirred at −10° C. to −20° C. for one hour. The reaction mixture was mixed with water and was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride and was dried with magnesium sulfate. The resulting organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a yellow oily substance (4.80 g). Into a solution of the thus-obtained oily substance and triethylamine (7.5 ml) in THF (50 ml) was added at 0° C. methanesulfonyl chloride (2.09 ml), and the resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 hour and at room temperature for one hour. To this reaction mixture was added 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]-7-undecene (DBU) (4.0 ml), and the resulting mixture was stirred for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was mixed with water and was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride and was dried with magnesium sulfate. After concentration under reduced pressure, the residue was subjected to separation and purification using column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane 1:5) to obtain methyl 7-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiepine-4-carboxylate (3.00 g) as a yellow oily substance.
