Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Fluoro-4-hydroxybenzonitrile (30.1 g; manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and imidazole (18.3 g; manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) were dissolved in dehydrated DMF (436 mL; manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Inc.), and the solution was cooled to 0° C. Subsequently, TBDMSCl (48.3 g; manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for one hour while the temperature was raised to room temperature. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure from the reaction solution, subsequently water was added thereto, and the mixture was extracted two times with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed two times with water and with brine, and was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and then the residue was purified by column chromatography (“COLUMN-A.”; n-hexane:ethyl acetate=100:0→94:6). Thus, the title compound (40.3 g) was obtained.
