Reaction Steps

In DMF (5 ml), 7-fluoro-2-(2-methylphenylamino)-6-benzoxazolylacetic acid (300 mg, 1.0 mmol), methyl 4-((2S,4S)-4-fluoro-2-pyrrolidinylmethoxy)benzoate (253 mg, 1.0 mmol), EDC•HCl (288 mg, 1.5 mmol), HOBt (203 mg, 1.5 mmol) and triethylamine (0.70 ml, 5.0 mmol) were stirred at room temperature for 14 hours. After the reaction mixture was poured in ice water (20 ml), the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and distilled under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column (silica gel: 50 g), whereby from chloroform/acetone (10/1) eluate fractions, the title compound (490 mg, 92%) was obtained as a colorless amorphous substance.
