5.00 g of 3-(2-(1-benzothiophene-5-yl)ethoxy)-1-(3-hydroxy-1-azetidinyl)-1-propanone was dissolved in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and 1.09 g of sodium borohydride was then added thereto. Thereafter, 4.25 ml of a boron trifluoride-tetrahydrofuran complex was added dropwise thereto at 10° C., and the obtained mixture was then stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour and then at 40° C. for 3 hours. Thereafter, the reaction solution was cooled to 10° C. Thereafter, 30 ml of 6 mol/l hydrochloric acid was added dropwise to the reaction mixture, followed by reflux for 1 hour. After cooling, the solvent was concentrated under a reduced pressure, and ethyl acetate was added thereto. The pH of the mixture was adjusted to pH 9.4 by addition of a 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and an organic layer was then separated. The organic layer was successively washed with water and a saturated saline solution, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was then distilled away under a reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent; chloroform:methanol=20:1 to 10:1), and then crystallized from toluene-diisopropyl ether (1:3; 14 ml), so as to obtain 2.31 g of 1-(3-(2-(1-benzothiophene-5-yl)ethoxy)propyl)-3-azetidinol.
