Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (470 mg) and (3-bromopropoxy)-tert-butyldimethylsilane (600 μL) were sequentially added to a solution of (5R)-5-[(E)-2-(5-chloro-6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)ethenyl]pyrrolidin-2-one obtained in Example 4-50(2) (610 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours and at 65° C. for three hours. The reaction solution was poured into water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=6:4→2:8) to give (5R)-5-[(E)-2-[4-(3-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}propoxy)-3-methylphenyl]-2-(5-chloro-6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)ethenyl]pyrrolidin-2-one as a colorless amorphous (879 mg, 97%).
