(S)—N′-Hydroxy-3-(9-methylthio-6-oxo-2,3,3a,4-tetrahydro-1H,6H-5,8,10,10b-tetraazabenzo[e]azulen-5-yl)benzamidine (180 mg, 0.47 mmol) obtained in Step 1 of Example 75 was suspended in triethyl orthoformate (6.0 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 2 days. The residue obtained by concentrating the mixture under reduced pressure was then purified by silica gel column chromatography to give (S)-5-[3-(1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)phenyl]-9-methylthio-1,2,3,3a,4,5-hexahydro-5,8,10,10b-tetraazabenzo[e]azulen-6-one (144 mg, 78%).
