Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (purity: 55%, 434 mg) and methyl iodide (0.62 mL) were added to a solution of 4-(4-bromophenyl)butan-1-ol obtained in Reference Example 5-21(1) in N,N-dimethylformamide (30 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 7.5 hours. Water was added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with a mixture of hexane-ethyl acetate (1:1). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=50:1→20:1→10:1) to give the title compound (1.06 g, 88%).
