PROCESS FOR PRODUCING PHENYL- SUBSTITUTED HETEROCYCLIC DERIVATIVE THROUGH COUPLING USING TRANSITION METAL CATALYST,

摘要

pA process for efficiently producing through few steps either a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, which is a therapeutic agent for hyperuricemia, or an intermediate therefore. The process is a novel coupling process which comprises subjecting a compound represented by formula (1) to coupling reaction with a compound represented by formula (2) in the presence of a transition metal compound to thereby obtain a compound represented by formula (3)./p[EP2404908A1]
