(2R,4S)-4-{[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-(5-iodopyrimidin-2-yl)}amino-2-ethyl-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,5]naphthyridine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (200 mg) is dissolved in toluene (2 ml), then thereto are added 2-tributylstannylpyridine (105 μl) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (16 mg), and the mixture is stirred at 100° C. under nitrogen flow overnight. After allowing to cool to room temperature, 10% aqueous potassium fluoride solution is added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with a 10% aqueous potassium fluoride solution and a saturated brine successively, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is purified by column chromatography (silica gel; hexane: ethyl acetate=4:1) to give (2R,4S)-4-{[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-[5-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl]}amino-2-ethyl-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,5]naphthyridine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (138 mg). MS (m/z): 661 [M+H]+
