Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

7.17 g of 6-nitroindan-5-ol was dissolved in 80.0 mL of DMF, and 10.9 g of methyl 4-(bromomethyl)-2-fluorobenzoate and 6.63 g of potassium carbonate were added thereto, followed by stirring at 50° C. overnight. To the reaction liquid was added water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with saturated brine and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1 to 1:1) to obtain 11.1 g of methyl 2-fluoro-4-{[(6-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-5-yl)oxy]methyl}benzoate.
