Reaction Steps

2-Aminomethyl-5-methyl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-f]quinoline-7-one (1.0 g, 4.34 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (120 ml), to which cyanogen bromide (2.76 g, 26 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 4 hours. After completion of the reaction, the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration, and washed with water. As a result, 0.427 g of the title compound was obtained as yellow crystals (38.5%). Recrystallization from chloroform-methanol yielded the title compound as pale yellow needles (mp: 227°-230° C. (dec.)).
