Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(3-Methoxymethoxypyridin-4-yl)-1-propanol (1.59 g, 9.2 mmol) obtained in Example 2 and triphenylphosphine (2.78 g, 10.6 mmol) are dissolved in THF (40 ml), and thereto are successively added with stirring diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (1.85 g, 9.2 mmol) and 2-(3-bromo-phenylthio)-3-pyridinol (2.00 g, 7.1 mmol) obtained in Reference Example 1 under ice-cooling. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, and the reaction solution is concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue is added ethyl acetate (50 ml), and the mixture is extracted with a 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (50 ml×2). The pH value of the aqueous layer is adjusted to pH 12 with potassium carbonate, and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×2). The organic layer is washed with a saturated brine (50 ml×2), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue are added ethanol (200 ml) and a 15% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (10 ml), and the mixture is heated under reflux for 30 minutes. The reaction solution is concentrated under reduced pressure, neutralized with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×2). The organic layer is washed with a saturated brine (50 ml×2), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: chloroform/ethyl acetate), and further recrystallized from diethyl ether to give the title compound (1.98 g) as colorless crystals, m.p. 169-171° C.
