Participants

Reaction Steps

(S)-4-(2-Hydroxy-3-(4-(naphthalen-2-yl)piperidino)-propyloxy)-N-methoxy-N-methylbenzo(b)furan-2-carboxamide (0.40 g) obtained in Example 6 was dissolved in pyridine (20 ml) and acetic anhydride (10 ml) was added at room temperature. The mixture was stood for one day. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/methanol) to give (S)-4-(2-acetoxy-3-(4-(naphthalen-2-yl)piperidino)propyloxy)-N-methoxy-N-methylbenzo(b)furan-2-carboxamide (0.34 g) as a brown oil. This was dissolved in ethanol and maleic acid (0.10 g) was added. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration and dried to give the title compound (0.25 g) as pale-yellow crystals, melting point 125-127° C.
