Reaction Steps

Compound 175 (200 mg, 0.59 mmol) obtained in Reference Example 114 was dissolved in 4 ml of dimethylformamide. To the solution were added 163 mg (1.18 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 0.56 ml (1.18 mmol) of 1,4-dibromobutane, and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 4 hours. Water was added thereto under ice cooling to dissolve potassium carbonate and the deposited crystals were collected by filtration. The obtained crude crystals were recrystallized from hexane/ethyl acetate to give 170 mg (yield 61%) of Compound 177 as pale yellow grains.
