Reaction Steps

A solution of 43 mg (0.11 mmol) N-[2-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridin-4-yl)furo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-yl]benzamide (Example 4) in acetic acid (3 ml) was treated with 0.2 ml hydrochloric acid (37%) and stirred for 24 h at 100° C. Then, further 0.2 ml hydrochloric acid (37%) were added, and stirring was continued for 48 h at 100° C. Upon cooling, saturated aq. sodium carbonate solution was added until a neutral pH was reached. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with brine and water, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography (silica, eluent dichloromethane/methanol 10:1 v/v) to afford the title compound (5.6 mg, 18% of th.) as a white solid.
