Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound obtained in Step 2 (500 mg, 1.54 mmol) and 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzonitrile (240 mg, 1.54 mmol) in THF (15 mL) was added potassium t-butoxide (432 mg, 3.85 mmol) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 14 hr. To the reaction mixture was added water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent gradient; 5 to 75% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (458 mg, 0.996 mmol, 64.6%) as a colorless powder.
