Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing a phosphine derivative from a phosphine oxide derivative, which comprises the following steps: (I) mixing a phosphine oxide derivative represented by formula (1) with a chlorinating agent in a polar organic solvent to cause the reaction between these components; and (II-1) adding a salt of a metal having an ionization tendency equal to or lower than that of aluminum to the reaction mixture and carrying out the reductive reaction in the presence of aluminum or (II-2) subjecting the reaction mixture to electrolytic reduction, thereby producing a phosphine derivative represented by formula (2). ArnR3-nP?O (1) ArnR3-nP (2) In formulae (1) and (2), Ar represents an aryl group such as a phenyl group, a phenyl group having a substituent, a heteroaromatic ring group, and a heteroaromatic ring group having a substituent; R represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having a substituent; and n represents an integer of 0 to 3.

Abstract: Disclosed is a 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)homopiperazine hydrochloride hydrate having a water content of from 2.5 to 15.5% by weight represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein n means a number in the range of from 1/2 to 3. Since the 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)homopiperazine hydrochloride hydrate of the present invention has excellent shapeability as compared to a 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)homopiperazine hydrochloride anhydride, a tablet having satisfactory hardness can be obtained even with a relatively low compression pressure in a tableting process. Further, due to a reduction in the compression pressure needed for tableting, various advantages are brought about, such as improved disintegratability of the resultant tablet when the tablet is orally taken, so that good dissolution of 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)homopiperazine hydrochloride from the tablet can be achieved, as well as suppression of abrasion of the die and punch used in producing tablets by compression, and the like.
