Reaction Steps

To the reaction solution was added (7-formyl-3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-4,6-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-yl)formamide obtained in Example 60 (3.0 g, 8.89 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Water was added to the reaction solution, and the product was extracted with diisopropyl ether. The combined extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude product of oily ethyl (2E)-3-(5-(formylamino)-3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-4,6-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-7-yl)-2-propenoate. A mixture of said compound with 10%—palladium carbon (50% hydrous, 300 mg) and ammonium formate (1.26 g, 20 mmol) in ethanol (50 mL), was heated under reflux for 2 hours. The solid material was removed and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water and ethyl acetate were added to the residue to separate the organic layer, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with water and was dried over magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain the crude product of ethyl 3-(5-(formylamino)-3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-4,6-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-7-yl)propanoate. A mixture of said compound with concentrated hydrochloric acid (10 mL)-ethanol (30 mL), was heated under reflux for 1.5 hours. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the obtained residue was neutralized with a 12 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate.
