  • Patent number: 10508084
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a 4,4,7-trifluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-1-benzazepine compound which has an superior agonistic activity to an arginine vasopressin V2 receptor and is useful as an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating urinary frequency, urinary incontinence, enuresis, central diabetes insipidus, nocturia, nocturnal enuresis, or the like; and useful intermediates for use in the methods. The production method of the present invention is suitable for the industrial production of a medicament, because of a smaller number of steps, a higher yield, and a lower cost, as compared with the methods in the related art.

  • Publication number: 20070293690
    Abstract: A process for producing an azulene derivative useful as a Na+-glucose cotransporter inhibitor, which is high in yield, is simple in operation, is low in cost, is suited for environmental protection, and is advantageous industrially, the process being characterized by reducing and deprotecting at least one compound selected from penta-acyl compounds and tetra-acyl compounds or salts thereof to obtain a C-glycoside compound; and a useful intermediate for synthesis of such an azulene derivative, obtained in the course of the above process.
