4-[(6,7-Dimethoxy-4-quinolyl)oxy]-2,5-dimethylaniline (30 mg) was dissolved in chloroform (1 ml) and triethylamine (0.1 ml) to prepare a solution. A solution of triphosgene (35 mg) in chloroform (0.2 ml) was then added to the solution, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hr. Next, a solution of (1R)-1-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-1-ethylamine (35 mg) in chloroform (0.2 ml) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 hr. The stirred mixture was purified by chromatography on silica gel using chloroform/methanol for development to give the title compound (30 mg, yield 68%).
