Reaction Steps

[step 5] (E)-2-[3-fluoro-8-({2-[(methylamino)methyl]-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl}methyl)dibenzo[b,e]oxepin-11(6H)-ylidene]propanenitrile (215 mg, 0.49 mmol) obtained in step 4 was dissolved in acetonitrile (9.8 mL), formaldehyde (0.26 mL, 3.43 mmol) and sodium cyanoborohydride (62 mg, 0.98 mmol) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hr. To the mixture was added saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, and the mixture was extracted 3 times with chloroform. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=100/0 v/v-0/100 v/v) to quantitatively give the title compound (222 mg).
