Procedure

3-Bromo-8-methoxy-6,6-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[b]carbazol-11-one (Compound A4, 10.45 g, 28.2 mmol) and copper cyanide (5.0 g, 50.2 mmol) were dissolved in NMP (100 ml) and stirred at 170° C. for 17 hours. The reaction mixture was suspended in ethyl acetate (500 ml) and distilled water (200 ml). The insoluble matters were filtered off using Celite, and washed with ethyl acetate (300 ml×2). The organic layer was washed once with aqueous solution of disodium EDTA (200 ml) and twice with saturated brine (200 ml) in order, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resultant was suspended and washed with a small amount of CPME to give the title compound as a colorless crystal (6.58 g, 73%).
