Reaction Steps

N-(4-Chlorophenoxyethyl)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propanamide (11.6 g, 36.3 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (15 mL), and potassium carbonate (15.0 g, 109 mmol) was added thereto. Subsequently, tert-butyl 2-bromoisobutyrate (20.2 g, 90.7 mmol) was added thereto, followed by stirring for 4 days at 70° C. Subsequently, water was added thereto, and the resultant mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, and the resultant mixture was subjected to drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentration under reduced pressure, and purification by silica gel chromatography (chloroform/methanol=50/1), whereby the target compound was obtained (7.4 g, 44%).
