Reaction Steps

The compound (56.1 g) obtained in Example 10-1 was gradually added to thionyl chloride (119 ml) under ice-cooling. After completion of dropping, the whole was refluxed at 65° C. for 15 minutes. Excess thionyl chloride was distilled off under reduced pressure and the solution was further subjected to azeotropic distillation with toluene, thereby obtaining a hydrochloride (82.4 g) of the subject compound as a yellow solid.
