Reaction Steps

The compound (231 mg) obtained in Example 1-6 was dissolved in anhydrous methanol (5.0 ml) The solution was added with sodium cyanoborohydride (61.6 mg), acetic acid (2.00 ml), and 1-methyl-2-imidazole carboxaldehyde (80.9 mg) and the whole was stirred at room temperature for 6 days under a nitrogen atmosphere. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was distilled off. The resultant was then dissolved in chloroform and added with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and the whole was stirred for a while. The solution was subjected to extraction with chloroform and the extract was then washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and a saturated saline solution. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. Subsequently, the solvent was distilled off and the residue was then purified through silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/methanol/water), thereby obtaining the subject compound (197 mg) as a colorless oily substance.
