Procedure

To a solution of 6-benzyloxy-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde described in Manufacturing Example 231-1-2 (36.8 g, 173 mmol) in acetic acid (100 mL) were added nitromethane (52.8 g, 865 mmol) and ammonium acetate (26.7 g, 346 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature, which was stirred for 2.5 hours at 100° C. The reaction mixture was partitioned into water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (44.0 g) as a crude product.
