Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(7-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)-3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-4,6-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-yl)-3,3-dimethylbutanamide (200 mg, 0.455 mmol) obtained in Example 84 and palladium hydroxide on carbon (20 mg) in ethanol (20 mL) was stirred at 60° C. for 3 hours under a hydrogen atmosphere. The catalyst was removed and the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water was added to the residue and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=7:3) to obtain 40 mg (yield: 21%) of the title compound. Amorphous powder.
