Reaction Steps

Compound 6 (3.70 g) was dissolved in pyridine (100 mL), and N,N-dimethylglycin (5.15 g) was added to the solution, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. Subsequently, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (9.43 g) was added to the mixture, followed by stirring under reflux for 12 hours. After completion of reaction, the solvent was evaporated to dryness. Chloroform (800 mL) was added to the residue, and the mixture was washed with water three times. The pH of the aqueous layer was checked by use of a pH testpaper, and adjusted to 4 to 5 with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate anhydrate, and the solvent was evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (CHCl3-Hexane), to thereby yield the target product (yield: 3.48 g, 76%).
