Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-2-phenoxy-pyridine described in Manufacturing Example 231-1-1 (18.7 g, 74.6 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (360 mL) was added n-butyl lithium (31.1 mL, 2.64 M hexane solution, 82.1 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere at −78° C., which was stirred for 30 minutes at −78° C. To this reaction solution was added N,N-dimethylformamide (7.46 mL, 97 mmol) at −78° C., which was stirred for 1 hour at this temperature. The reaction solution was partitioned into ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (heptane:ethyl acetate=5:1) to obtain the title compound (4.75 g, 32%).
