Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (2.65 mL) and magnesium chloride (2.16 g) were added to dry acetonitrile (37.5 mL) suspension of potassium ethylmalonate (3.23 g), and the mixture was vigorously stirred at room temperature for 16 hours under in an atmosphere of argon. Next, a catalytically effective amount of N,N-dimethylaminopyridine and 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (1.35 g) were added to anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) solution of 6-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)benzimidazole-4-carboxylic acid (3.0 g) obtained in Reference Example 23, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour under an atmosphere of argon. This was diluted to the previously prepared suspension of ethyl malonate magnesium salt while cooling in an ice bath, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. This was diluted with ice water (50 mL) and, while cooling in an ice bath, adjusted to pH 1 with 4 N hydrochloric acid. While cooling in an ice bath, this was adjusted to pH 8 to 9 with saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate) and the desired fraction was concentrated to obtain the title compound as colorless oil (3.44 g).
