Reaction Steps

5.7 g of 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxymethyl-2-phenyl-1,5-benzothiazepin-4(5H)-one prepared as described in Reference Example 1 was dissolved in 20 ml of triethylamine. 3.8 g of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride was added to the solution while stirring and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Water was added to the reaction mixture and the precipitated crystals were separated by filtration and recrystallized from a mixture of dichloromethane-n-hexane to obtain 8 g of 2,3-dihydro-2-phenyl-3-[(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)methyl]-1,5-benzothiazepin-4(5H)-one as colorless prisms having a melting point of 215° C.
