Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound obtained in Example 17-2 (1.6728 g) was dissolved in DMF (33 ml). After the addition of potassium carbonate (1.66 g) and 2-aminopyridine (0.68 g), the mixture was stirred for 15 hours at room temperature. After the reaction, the solvent was removed by distillation and the residue was dissolved in chloroform. The organic layer was washed with 1 mol/l aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Then, the solvent was removed by distillation. The residue was dissolved in DMF (44 ml). Triethylamine. (1.58 ml) and di-t-butyldicarbonate (2.60 ml) were added and the mixture was stirred for 6 hours at room temperature. After the reaction, the solvent was removed by distillation. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with 0.5 mol/l aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation. The residue was dissolved in methanol (6 ml), and 1 mol/l aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (6 ml) was added. After the reaction for one day, the reaction solution was concentrated. The residue was dissolved again in methanol and neutralized with ion-exchange resin CG50. The resin was removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (15 g, chloroform/methanol=5/1) to obtain the title compound (159 mg) as a colorless viscous liquid.
