Reaction Steps

5-(4-fluorophenyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (220 mg, 1.0 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (4 ml), to which 2 M guanidine solution (3.0 ml, 6.0 mmol) prepared in Example 1 was added, and the mixture was heated at reflux for 12 hours. After completion of the reaction, the solution was added with saturated brine (20 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (30 ml×3). The organic layer was washed with 10% brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (5% methanol/dichloromethane), to give 127 mg of a title compound (yield: 51%).
