Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.719 g (1.764 mmol) of 6-[4-(2-phenyl-1,3-dithiolan-2-yl)benzoyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-c]pyridine in 10 ml of acetic acid, 0.22 ml (2.65 mmol) of pyrrolidine and 0.21 g (2.65 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 ethyl acetate 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.
