Reaction Steps

Ethyl 8-amino-4-(4-methoxy-4-oxobutyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-2-carboxylate (80 mg; prepared by subjecting the compound prepared in Example 3 to the same procedure as described in Example 29) and 4-(4-phenylbutoxy)benzaldehyde (60 mg) were dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (4 mL), and to this solution was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (96 mg) with ice cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added water and the resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed sequentially with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=8:2) to give the title compound (121 mg) having the following physical data.
