Procedure

In a 10 ml volume double neck flask substituted with argon gas, was laid 2 ml of a THF solution containing 0.32 mmol/L of o-bromotoluene obtained in the step 2 of Example 1, followed by cooling at 0° C. in an atmosphere of argon gas. To the solution, while stirring using a magnetic stirrer, 0.34 ml of a n-hexane containing 1.58 mol/L of n-butyl lithium was slowly drop wise added and stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. Subsequently, 0.59 ml of a THF solution containing 0.96 mmol/L of chlorotrimethylsilane was slowly drop wise added and stirred at 0° C. for 60 min. After reaction, the resulting solution was analyzed using GC (CBP column 1; 0.25 mm×25 m; starting temperature 50° C.; rate of temperature increase 10° C./min). As a result, o-trimethylsilyltoluene was obtained in yield of 4%. In addition, o-butyltoluene was obtained as a by-product in yield of 91%.
