Procedure
2-({4-[2-(Heptylamino)-2-oxoethyl]-1,3-thiazol-2-yl}thio)-2-methylpropionic acid tert-butyl ester (12.0 g) obtained in Example 303-1 was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (120 mL), 1 M-borane/tetrahydrofuran complex (100 mL) was added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hr. The reaction mixture was ice-cooled, and methanol (400 mL) was added dropwise. After warming to room temperature, the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, piperidine (120 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (elution solvent; dichloromethane:methanol=20:1 to 10:1) to give the title compound (5.5 g) as a slightly yellow oil.
