Reaction Steps

To 4.04 g (8.52 mmol) of ethyl 1-benzyloxymethyl-5-bromo-4-(2-fluorobenzyl)-2-formyl-1H-pyrrol-3-carboxylate obtained in Reference example 36-(e) were added 3.62 g (11.1 mmol) of 2-(3-cyclopropoxy-4-difluoromethoxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane obtained in Reference example 1-(a), 7.23 g (34.0 mmol) of potassium phosphate, 60 ml of toluene and 3.6 ml of water, the mixture was degassed under reduced pressure and replaced with argon. Further, 40 mg (0.178 mmol) of palladium acetate and 128 mg (0.356 mmol) of butyl-di-1-adamantylphosphine were added to the mixture, and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer after separation was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was applied to silica gel column chromatography (Eluent; hexane:ethyl acetate=19:1→9:1 (V/V)), and the fractions containing the desired compound were concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 5.01 g of the title compound as a yellowish oil substantially quantitatively.
