Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.329 g (0.967 mmol) of 5-(5-phenylpentylsulfonyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridine in 20 ml of acetic acid, 0.11 g (1.2 mmol) of 50% aqueous dimethylamine and 96 mg (1.2 mmol) of 37% aqueous formaldehyde were added, followed by stirring at 100° C. for 1 hour. After the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, the residual solution was alkalified with aqueous sodium hydroxide and extracted with dichloromethane 3 times. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate; the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate to ethyl acetate/methanol=4/1) to yield the desired product.
