Reaction Steps

To 1.2 L of N,N-dimethylformamide solution containing 159 g (0.79 mol) of 5-bromo-2-methoxyphenol (see WO 01019785) were added 340 g (2.37 mol) of 1-bromo-2-chloroethane and 120 g (0.868 mol) of potassium carbonate, and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 5 hours. Then, 220 g (1.53 mol) of 1-bromo-2-chloroethane and 80 g (0.58 mol) of potassium carbonate were additionally added thereto twice by dividing them to two portions during the reaction, and the mixture was further stirred for 7 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured into water, and extracted with toluene. The organic layer after separation was washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 217 g of the title compound as a dark brownish solid substantially quantitatively.
