Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound (155 mg) obtained in Example 15-5 was dissolved in anhydrous methanol (3.0 ml) and added with sodium cyanoborohydride (33.7 mg), acetic acid (0.50 ml), and the compound (58.0 mg) obtained in Example 15-6, and the whole was stirred at room temperature for 2 days under a nitrogen atmosphere. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was distilled off. The resultant was dissolved in chloroform and added with a 1 mol/l sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, followed by stirring for a while. Then, the solution was subjected to extraction with chloroform and washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and a saturated saline solution. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was distilled off. The residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/ethyl acetate) and treated with hydrochloric acid, thereby obtaining a hydrochloride (174 mg) of the subject compound as a white solid.
