Procedure

N-methylbenzylamine (766 mg, 3.16 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.09 g, 7.90 mmol) were added to a solution of DMA (5 mL) containing 2-(iodomethyl)-2,4,6,7-tetramethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran (1.00 g, 3.16 mmol) synthesized in Reference Example 126, and the mixture was stirred under heated reflux for 4 hours. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and water and ethyl acetate were added thereto to separate an organic layer. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated saline, and dried using anhydrous magnesium sulfate, followed by concentration under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate 99:1-93:7) to give 730 mg of the title compound (yield: 75%).
