(1R)-1-{(4S)-2-[5-(3-[(1S)-2-Methoxy-1-methylethoxy]-5-{[6-(methylsulfonyl)pyridin-3-yl]oxy}phenyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-4-yl}ethanol (178 mg, 0.35 mmol) synthesized in Example (95b) was dissolved in methylene chloride (5 mL) and subsequently cooled to −78° C., and boron tribromide (1.0 mol/L methylene chloride solution, 0.69 mL, 0.69 mmol) was added under nitrogen atmosphere. The temperature was raised naturally, followed by stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, and subsequently a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution was added to neutralize the reaction solution, followed by extraction with methylene chloride (70 mL). The organic layer was washed with a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and saturated brine, and subsequently dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified using silica gel column chromatography (elution solvent: methanol/methylene chloride=0%-4%) to afford the desired compound (132 mg, 76%) as a white solid.
