Reaction Steps

Benzenesulfonyl chloride (0.156 g) was added to a mixture of the compound (0.35 g) obtained in Example 18B, triethylamine (0.096 g) and dichloromethane (8 ml) under ice-cooling, the mixture was stirred for 1 hour, the reaction mixture was washed successively with water, an aqueous saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and water, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography and eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:1, v/v) to yield 7-benzyl-3-chloro-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-phenylsulfonylaminomethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-b:5,4-c']dipyridine (0.25 g, 55%), which was then recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to yield colorless prismatic crystals having a melting point of 153 to 154° C.
