6-(4-Methoxybenzyloxy)nicotinic acid (8.10 g, 31.2 mmol) obtained in Step 1 was dissolved in DMF (250 ml), and potassium carbonate (8.64 g, 62.5 mmol) and methyl iodide (3.89 mL, 62.5 mmol) were added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. Water was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate) to afford methyl 6-(4-methoxybenzyloxy)nicotinate (3.78 g, 44%).
