Procedure

To a suspension of 4-bromo-2-fluorophenol (0.57 g) and cesium carbonate (1.6 g) in acetonitrile (2.5 mL), (2R)-1-(3-chloropropyl)-2-methylpyrrolidine obtained in Example 62-(1) (0.40 g) was added and the mixture was heated to 100° C., at which it was stirred for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered to remove insoluble materials, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by NH-type silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent: n-hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1 to 3:1) to give the titled compound (0.73 g, 94%) as a yellow oil.
