Reaction Steps

2-Amino-7-fluoro-5-methyl-6-phenyl-1,3-benzoxazole-4-carbonitrile (I-172) (200 mg, 0.75 mmol), (3S)-3-(dimethylamino)pyrrolidine (190 μl, 1.50 mmol) and triethylamine (209 μl, 1.50 mmol) were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (4 ml), and the mixture was heated in a sealed tube at 150° C. for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction liquid was fractionated with ethyl acetate and saturated brine. The aqueous layer was separated, and this was extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The insoluble matter was separated by filtration, and the solvent was evaporated away under reduced pressure. The solvent was evaporated away, and the resulting residue was purified by preparative TLC (eluent; 7 N ammonia-containing methanol solution:chloroform=8:92) to obtain the entitled compound (81 mg, 30%) as a roughly-purified product. This was further recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to obtain a brown solid (62 mg).
