One droplet of DMF was added to a solution of 7-(4-butoxyethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-furylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylic acid (200 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml). Then, thionyl chloride (155 mg) was added at 0° C., the temperature was returned to room temperature, and the mixture was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere for 1 hour. Then, the solvent and excess thionyl chloride were evaporated, and the resulting residue was suspended in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) and added to a solution of 4-[[N-methyl-N-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)amino]methyl]aniline (115 mg) and triethylamine (1.1 g) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 2.5 hours, to the mixture was added water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried with magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was separated and purified with silica gel column chromatography (methanol:ethyl acetate=1:8), which was recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate to give 7-(4-butoxyethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-furylmethyl)-N-[4-[[N-methyl-N-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)amino]methyl]phenyl]-2,3-dihydro-1-benzazepine-4-carboxamide (Compound 72) (199 mg) as yellow crystals.
