Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.9 g of 2-(3-ethoxy-3-oxopropyl)-4-{[4-(3-methylbutanoyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]carbonyl}phenyl 3-methylbutanoate in 18 ml N,N-dimethylformamide are added 0.12 g of 60% sodium hydride and 0.4 ml of isopentyl iodide successively, and the mixture thus obtained is stirred at 50-60° C. for one hour. The reaction mixture is added to a mixture of ethyl acetate and water, pH is adjusted to 2 with 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid, and the organic layer is separated. The organic layer is washed with water and saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure. Thus, 0.7 g of 2-(3-ethoxy-3-oxopropyl)-4-{[1-isopentyl-4-(3-methylbutanoyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]carbonyl}phenyl 3-methylbutanoate is obtained as a white solid product.
