Reaction Steps

1-Bromo-3-[2-carboxy-2-(p-toluoylamino)ethyl]benzene (16.84 g) was dissolved in 85 ml of pyridine, and 55 ml of acetic anhydride was added and stirred for 3 hours under argon atmosphere at 90-95° C. Water (55 ml) was added dropwise gradually so that the maximum temperature did not exceed 100° C., and the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at 60-70° C. The reaction solution was cooled, poured into ice-cold water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The resulting solution was washed with 10% hydrochloric acid, water and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution sequentially and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting crystals were washed with isopropyl ether to provide 13.31 g of the objective compound as brownish crystals. M.p. 106-107° C.
