Reaction Steps

To a solution of Compound 4 prepared in Example 1-(1) (3.45 g) and sodium hydrogencarbonate (5.5 g) in tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) is added phosphorus pentasulfide (5.5 g) at 50° C., and the mixture is refluxed for 1 hour, poured into water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium salfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified on column chromatography (silica gel/methylene chloride). The resulting light yellow crystals are washed with n-hexane to give crystalline Compound 5 (3.1 g), which is recrystallized from ethyl acetate-n-hexane to give the title compound as pure crystals, mp. 193°-195° C.
