Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(ethoxymethyl-amino)-N-(5-phenoxy-thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-nicotinamide described in Example A-153 (427 mg, 0.92 mmol) in dimethylsulfoxide (5 mL) was added sodium borohydride (100 mg, 2.7 mmol), and the solution was stirred for 15 minutes at 100° C. Water and ethyl acetate were added to the reaction solution, which was then partitioned, and the organic layer was washed with water three times. Silica gel was added to the organic layer, the solvent was evaporated in vacuo for adsorption, and purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate). The solvent was evaporated in vacuo, hexane, diethyl ether and ethyl acetate were added to the residue for solidification, and the title compound (150 mg, 0.44 mmol, 48.1%) was obtained as a white solid.
