Abstract: This invention relates to a method for manufacturing 9-ethyl-6,6-dimethyl-8-[4-(morpholin-4-yl)piperidin-1-yl]-11-oxo-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[b]carbazole-3-carbonitrile, and is industrially preferable, allowing an objective substance to be obtained in high yield more safely and easily than the conventional method.

Abstract: A polyvalent vinyl aromatic compound represented by chemical formula (4) is produced by reacting (1) a specific vinyl aromatic compound and (2) a specific vinyl compound in the presence of (3-1) a metal complex and (3-2) a percarboxylic acid or a hypervalent iodine compound so that a vinyl group derived from the vinyl compound is introduced onto a carbon atom that is adjacent to the carbon atom to which a vinyl group is bonded in the vinyl aromatic compound. (In the formula, Ar represents a monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon group or the like; R1a represents a —CH2OC(?O)R4 group or the like; R2 represents a hydrogen atom or the like; R3 represents a hydrogen atom or the like; A represents an alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms, or the like; and n represents an integer of 1-m.
