Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,4-bis[5-(4-benzyloxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-pyridyl]hexahydro-1,4-diazepine (27.0 mg, 0.037 mmol) in methanol (1.0 mL) were added 10% palladium on charcoal (14.0 mg) and ammonium formate (14.0 mg, 0.220 mmol), and the resulting mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 2 hours. Insoluble materials were removed by filtration through Celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. A solution of the residue in chloroform was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from methanol-chloroform-diethyl ether to yield the title compound as pale brown needles (melting point: 200.0-202.0° C.) (17.0 mg, yield: 85%).
