Reaction Steps

Ethyl 3-{[(5-{[cyclohexyl(3-methyl-1-benzothiophen-2-yl)methyl]amino}pyridin-2-yl)carbonyl](methyl)amino}propanoate (9.31 g) synthesized in Example A59(3) was fractionated by high performance liquid chromatography (column: CHIRALPAK AD (50 mm ID×500 mL, manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd., mobile phase: hexane/2-propanol (700/300-200/800), flow rate: 60 mL/min-50 mL/min, column temperature: room temperature). 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 (4.67 g, 99.9% ee). To a mixture of the obtained amorphous form, ethanol (20 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) was added 1N lithium hydroxide aqueous solution (20 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in water (20 mL), and 1N hydrochloric acid (20 mL) was added at 0° C. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration to give the title object compound (4.17 g, 99%, 99.9% ee) as a white solid.
