Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-bromo-2,4,6-trimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran (10.0 g, 41.5 mmol) synthesized in Reference Example 79, copper iodide (I) (7.88 g, 41.5 mmol), 28% sodium methoxide/methanol solution (41.5 mL) and DMF (20.7 mL) was stirred at 120° C. for 2 hours. After cooled, 3N hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction solution to be neutralized, and it was diluted with ethyl acetate. Insolubles were removed by Celite filtration, and the obtained filtrate was washed with water and saturated saline. The organic layer was dried using magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate 94:6) to give 5.5 g of the title compound as an oily product (yield: 69%).
