Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Formic acid (30 mg) is slowly added to acetic anhydride (75 mg), and the mixture is heated with stirring at 60° C. for 2 hours. To the mixture is added dry tetrahydrofuran (0.2 ml), and further added 4-(2-aminoethoxy)-N-[3-(4-tert-butylcyclohexan-1-yl)phenyl]-3-methoxyphenylacetamide (100 mg) obtained in Example 62 at −20° C. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: gradient from 0% to 100% hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the desired compound (80 mg).
