Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]proline (512 mg) and triethylamine (0.314 mL) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added 2-methylpropyl chlorocarbonate (0.259 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. Thereafter, to the reaction system was added 3-amino-5-bromothiophene-2-carboxamide (200 mg) produced in Example 1, step D, and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 19 hr. Ethyl acetate (20 mL) and aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (10 mL) were added to the reaction mixture, and the separated organic layer was washed with brine (5 mL), and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Insoluble material was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane), and the object fraction was concentrated under reduced pressure to give N-(5-bromo-2-carbamoylthiophen-3-yl)-1-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]prolinamide as a pale-yellow amorphous solid. To a solution of N-(5-bromo-2-carbamoylthiophen-3-yl)-1-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]prolinamide produced above in ethanol (5 mL) was added 2M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (2.83 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 10 hr. The is reaction mixture was neutralized with 6M hydrochloric acid (0.6 mL) under ice-cooling, and water (2 mL) was added dropwise at room temperature. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration to give the title compound (208 mg) as a pale-yellow solid.
