Reaction Steps

4-(2-Chloropyridin-4-yl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(2-cyanobenzyl)-4-imidazolin-2-one (a compound of Reference Example 1 (6)), 79 μl of (S)-(−)-α-methylbenzylamine, 5.5 mg of palladium acetate, 15 mg of 2,2′-bis(diphenylphsophino)-1,1′-binaphthyl and 17 mg of sodium t-butoxide were suspended in 1 ml of toluene, and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 18 hours, under nitrogen flow. The reaction mixture was diluted by ethyl acetate, and insoluble matter was removed by filtration through Celite. To the filtrate was added 6N hydrochloric acid, and after separation, an aqueous layer was made alkaline with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The mixture was extracted with chloroform, washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After concentration under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane ethyl acetate=1:2), to give 38 mg of the title compound as colorless powder.
