Reaction Steps

Dimethylsulfoxide (20 mL) was added to a mixture of 6-(2-ethoxyethoxy)-1H-indol-5-ol described in Production Example 24-5 (3.28 g, 14.8 mmol), N-(4-chloropyridin-2-yl)acetamide described in Production Example 1-5 (2.78 g, 16.3 mmol), and potassium tert-butoxide (1.83 g, 16.3 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The liquid mixture was stirred at 150° C. overnight. The reaction liquid was allowed to stand to cool to room temperature and then diluted with water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated saline solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the drying agent was separated by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (n-heptane:ethyl acetate=1:1-0:1-ethyl acetate:methanol=99:1-19:1) to obtain the title compound (2.5 g, 48%).
