Procedure

4-methylphenylboric acid (1.35 g, 9.91 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (382 mg, 0.331 mmol), an aqueous solution of 2N sodium carbonate (4.5 mL) and ethanol (83 mL) were sequentially added to a solution of dimethoxyethane (9 mL) containing 6-bromo-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran (1.50 g, 6.61 mmol) synthesized in Reference Example 7, and the mixture was stirred under microwave irradiation at 150° C. for 10 minutes. After cooled to room temperature, water was added to the reaction solution, and extraction was performed using ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate and saturated saline, and then dried using anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate 99:1 to 93/7) to give 880 mg of the title compound (yield: 56%).
