Reaction Steps

In a mixture of carbon tetrachloride (4 ml) and N,N-dimethylformamide (16 ml) was dissolved the 2-[(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl) (2,5-difluorophenyl)methyl]-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (471 mg, 1.15 mmol) obtained in Example 331. Sodium azide (112 mg, 1.72 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (451 mg, 1.72 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 3 hours. Water was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was then washed successively with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column. A fraction obtained from the elution portion with hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1 was concentrated under reduced pressure, whereby the title compound (244 mg, 0.561 mmol, 49%) was obtained as a colorless amorphous substance.
