Reaction Steps

2-{[4-(3-Aminopropyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]thio}-2-methylpropionic acid tert-butyl ester (3.16 g) synthesized in Example 33 and triethylamine (1.68 mL) were dissolved in dichloromethane (50 mL), heptanoyl chloride (1.62 mL) was added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL), 1 M-borane/tetrahydrofuran complex (26.6 mL) was added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hr. The reaction mixture was ice-cooled, and methanol (30 mL) was added dropwise. After warming to room temperature, the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, piperidine (30 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (elution solvent; chloroform:methanol=50:1) to give the title compound (2.86 g) as a colorless oil.
