Reaction Steps

In a dried reaction flask, (E)-methyl 6-(cyclopentylmethylene)-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline-2-carboxylate (prepared according to the step (1) of Example 1) (0.428 g, 1.50 mmol) and 4-hydrazino-2-methylbenzonitrile hydrochloride (0.287 g, 1.56 mmol) were dissolved in ethanol (20 mL). In the protection from light and under the nitrogen atmosphere, the reaction solution was stirred at 80° C. for 8 hr. The reaction solution was concentrated under a reduced pressure to produce a crude reddish black viscous liquid (0.698 g).
