Reaction Steps

The compound (6.29 g, 25.75 mmol) obtained in step A was dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone (100 ml), and the mixture was stirred under ice-cooling. Thereto was added 60% sodium hydride (1.21 g, 30 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 min. After stirring, N-(3-bromopropyl)phthalimide (8.31 g, 31.0 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 90 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The insoluble material was filtered off, and the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained solid was washed with diethyl ether-hexane mixed solvent, and dried under reduced pressure to give the title compound (8.11 g, yield 73%) as a colorless solid.
