Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Trityl chloride (279 g, 1.0 mol) was dissolved in EDC (680 ml, 5 ml/g with respect to ethyl glycolate), and ethyl glycolate (135 g, 1.3 mol) was added to the mixture. Pyridine (99 g, 1.25 mol) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 19 hours at 40° C. After completion of the reaction was confirmed by HPLC, 0.5 N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (270 ml, 2 ml/g with respect to ethyl glycolate) was added to make the reaction solution a two-phase solution, which was then extracted. After the extraction was performed once again, EDC was distilled under reduced pressure. In order to obtain the compound of formula (8) as a solid form, hexane (680 ml) was added to the concentrated compound, the temperature was lowered to 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for about 3 hours and filtered.
