Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound (10 g) prepared in Example 16 in tetrahydrofuran (80 mL), a solution of sodium hexamethyldisilazide in tetrahydrofuran (1M, 49.3 mL) was dropped at −78° C., followed by stirring for 1 hour. Then, chlorobenzyl bromide (10.6 g) was dropped thereto, followed by stirring at −78° C. for 7 hours. The reaction mixture was added with a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried and concentrated. Then, the obtained solid was washed with hexane to thereby give the title compound (12.8 g) having the following physical properties.
