Procedure

Sodium hydride (60% oil base, 80 mg, 2.0 mmol) was added to a DMF solution (10 ml) of 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-10-propoxy-1,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5-oxa-1-aza-phenanthren-4-one (600 mg, 1.64 mmol), the resulting mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes. Ethyl bromoacetate (330 mg, 2.0 mmol) was added thereto and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Water and ethyl acetate were added to the reaction mixture, followed by separation. The thus-obtained organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified using medium pressure liquid chromatography (NH silica gel, n-hexane:ethyl acetate=100:0→0:100). The purified product was concentrated under reduced pressure, giving a colorless oily substance ethyl[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxo-10-propoxy-7,8-dihydro-4H,6H-5-oxa-1-aza-phenanthren-1-yl]acetate (700 mg, yield: 95%).
