Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(3,5-Dimethoxypyridin-4-yl)-1-propanol (0.60 g, 3.0 mmol) obtained in Example 1 and triphenylphosphine (1.18 g, 4.5 mmol) are dissolved in THF (30 ml), and thereto are successively added with stirring diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (0.78 g, 3.9 mmol) and 2-(3-bromophenoxy)-3-pyridinol (1.04 g, 3.9 mmol) obtained in Reference Example 11 under ice-cooling. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, and the reaction solution is concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue is added ethyl acetate (50 ml), and the mixture is extracted with a 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (50 ml×2). The pH value of the aqueous layer is adjusted to pH 12 with potassium carbonate, and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×2). The organic layer is washed with a saturated brine (50 ml×2), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: chloroform/methanol) to give 2-(3-bromophenoxy)-3-[3-(3,5-dimethoxypyridin-4-yl)propoxyl]pyridine, which is further treated with fumaric acid to give the title compound (1.26 g), m.p. 106-154° C.
