Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of THF (40 mL) and LAH (2.4 g) was added aluminum chloride (9.7 g) at 0° C., which was stirred until the aluminum chloride dissolved. 4-((5-Chloro-furan-2-yl)-hydroxy-methyl)-benzonitrile (2.4 g) described in Manufacturing Example 16-1 was then added thereto at 0° C., which was stirred for 4 hours and 30 minutes at room temperature. An aqueous ammonia solution was added at 0° C. to the reaction suspension, which was filtered through Celite, and the solvent was evaporated from the filtrate under a reduced pressure. The residue was purified by NH silica gel column chromatography (heptane:ethyl acetate=1:2) to obtain the titled compound (1.6 g).
