Reaction Steps

Ethyl 3-{[(4-{[cyclohexyl(5-methoxy-3-methyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methyl]amino}phenyl)carbonyl](methyl)amino}propanoate (795 mg) synthesized above was fractionated by high performance liquid chromatography (column: CHIRALPAK AD (50 mm ID×500 mL, manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd., mobile phase: hexane/ethanol (400/600), flow rate: 60 mL/min, column temperature: 30° C.). The fraction containing an optically active form having a shorter retention time under the above-mentioned high performance liquid chromatography conditions was concentrated to give an amorphous form (413 mg, 99.9% ee). To a mixture of the obtained amorphous form, ethanol (5 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (2.00 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in water (10 mL), and 1N hydrochloric acid (2.00 mL) was added at 0° C. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration to give the title object compound (355 mg, 47%, 99.9% ee) as a white solid.
