    Synthesis of Intermediate BB-1

    [0258] ##STR00027##

    Step 1: Synthesis of Compound BB-1-2

    [0259] A mixture of compound BB-1-1 (21.10 g) and ethyl cyanoacetate (11.00 g, 10.38 mL) was stirred at 100° C. for 16 h in nitrogen atmosphere. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to 70° C., ethanol (30 mL) was slowly and dropwise added, and a large amount of solid was precipitated. The resulting mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was dried under reduced pressure to give product BB-1-2.

    [0260] .sup.1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ=8.26 (t, J=5.2 Hz, 1H), 6.86 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 6.79 (br s, 1H), 6.71 (d, 8.0 Hz, 1H), 4.00 (q, J=6.8 Hz, 2H), 3.72 (s, 3H), 3.59 (s, 2H), 3.31-3.23 (m, 2H), 2.64 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 1.32 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 3H). MS-ESI m/z: 263.1[M+H].sup.+.

    Step 2: Synthesis of Compound BB-1-3

    [0261] In nitrogen atmosphere, phosphorus oxychloride (379.50 g, 230.00 mL) was heated to 85° C., and compound BB-1-2 (26.00 g) was added in portions. The reaction mixture was stirred at 85° C. for 2 h for reaction. After the reaction was completed, most of the phosphorus oxychloride was removed by reduced pressure distillation. To the residue was added dichloromethane (200 mL) and the mixture was washed with water (100 mL×2). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered to remove the desiccant, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product was purified by slurrying with ethyl acetate (20 mL) to give compound BB-1-3.

    [0263] Compound BB-1-3 (1.00 g) was added to 98% concentrated sulfuric acid (12.88 g, 128.69 mmol, 7.00 mL) in portions at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 27° C. for 3 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was added to cold water (15 mL), and then aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (4 mol/L, 32 mL) was added dropwise to adjust to a neutral pH, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate (100 mL×3). The organic phases were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered to remove the desiccant, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give compound BB-1-4.

    [0264] MS-ESI m/z: 263.1[M+H].sup.+.

    Step 4: Synthesis of Compound BB-1-5

    [0265] Sodium (2.42 g) was added in portions to ethanol (80 mL) at 0° C. After the mixture was stirred at 28° C. for 0.5 h, compound BB-1-4 (6.90 g) was added to the solution in portions, and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 0.5 h. Then, diethyl carbonate (9.32 g, 9.51 mL) was added in one portion, and the mixture was stirred for 5 h at 80° C. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, ice water (30 mL) was slowly added, and then diluted hydrochloric acid (2 mol/L, 53 mL) was added to adjust the mixture to a neutral pH. A large amount of solid was precipitated. The mixture was filtered, and the resulting filter cake was purified by slurrying with ethanol (10 mL) to give compound BB-1-5.

    Step 5: Synthesis of Compound BB-1-6

    [0267] Compound BB-1-5 (5.00 g) was dissolved in phosphorus oxychloride (30 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 16 h in nitrogen atmosphere. After the reaction was completed, most of the solvent was removed by reduced pressure distillation. Water (100 mL) was added and the resulting mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (150 mL×2). The organic phases were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered to remove the desiccant, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give compound BB-1-6.
