To a stirred solution of methyl 3-amino-2-[(2'-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl)methylamino]benzoate (10 g) in pyridine (50 ml) was added dropwise methyl chloroformate (9.0 ml) under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours and concentrated. The residue was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried and evaporated.
