Example 1-4
Preparation of Compound 15
[Chem. 31]

Compound 12 (3.0 g, 20.3 mmol) was dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone (18 mL), and the solution was cooled to 5°C. Thionyl chloride (3.1 g, 26.1 mmol) was added to obtain a solution of Compound 13.
To a suspension of Compound 11 (5.0 g, 16.8 mmol) in ethyl acetate (50 mL) were added sodium bicarbonate (3.5 g, 42.0 mmol) and water (50 mL), and the mixture was stirred for 5 min at 20°C.
The layers were separated, and the organic layer was concentrated to 10 g under reduced pressure. N-Methylpyrrolidone (5 mL) and 35% hydrochloric acid (0.9 g) were added, and the mixture was cooled to 3°C. The solution of Compound 13 and N-methylpyrrolidone (1.5 mL) were added to obtain a solution of Compound 15.
The solution of Compound 15 was added to a mixture of water (15 mL) and ethyl acetate (10 mL). After stirring the mixture for 1 hour, triethylamine (14.8 g, 14.6 mmol), N-methylpyrrolidone (1.5 mL) and water (5 mL) were added and further stirred for 1 hour. Water (45 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour, filtered and dried to obtain crystals of Compound 15 (Crystalline Form I, 5.71 g, 92.4%).

Example 1-5
To a suspension of Compound 11 (1831 g, 6.2 mol) in ethyl acetate (18L) were added sodium bicarbonate (1293 g, 15.4 mol) and water (18L), and the mixture was stirred for 5 min at 20°C. The layers were separated, and the organic layer was concentrated to 3.8 kg under reduced pressure to obtain a concentrated solution of Compound 14.
Compound 12 (912 g, 6.2 mol) was dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone (64L), and the solution was cooled to 4°C. Thionyl chloride (951 g, 8.0 mol) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. The concentrated solution of Compound 14 was added to obtain a solution of Compound 15.
The solution of Compound 15 and N-methylpyrrolidone (1.6 L) were added to water (18 L), and the mixture was stirred for 40 min at 25°C. 24% sodium hydroxide in water (5 kg), sodium bicarbonate (259 g, 3.1 mmol) and water (2.7 L) were added to the mixture. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour, filtered and dried to obtain crystals (metastable Form II) of Compound 15 (1.93 kg, 85.4%).

Preparation of Compound 11
[Chem. 30]

A suspension of Compound 9 (20.0 g, 29.0 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (30 mL) was cooled to 5°C. 1,8-diazabicyclo(5,4,0)-7-undecene (39.7 g, 260.8 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 22 hours. Water (70 mL) was added to afford a solution of Compound 10.

To a mixture of ethyl acetate (200 mL), water (40 mL) and 62% sulfuric acid (12.7 g) was added the solution of Compound 10, and the mixture was cooled to 10°C. 15% sulfuric acid (3.7 g) was added, and the mixture was warmed to 20°C. The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with 5% sodium chloride in water (95 g). The layers were separated, and the organic layer was concentrated in vacuo to 42 mL. Ethyl acetate (20 mL) and 50% potassium carbonate in water (20 g) were added, and the mixture was warmed to 40°C. 4-chlorobenzenethiol (6.29 g, 43.5 mmol) and ethyl acetate (11 mL) were added, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. After cooling to 20°C, ethyl acetate (100 mL), water (68 mL) and 15% hydrochloric acid (42.6 g) were added. The layers were separated, and ethyl acetate (149 mL) and 20% potassium carbonate in water (40.5 g) were added to the aqueous layer. The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with water (100 mL). The layers were separated, and the organic layer was concentrated to 20 mL. Acetic acid (1.7 g, 29.0 mmol) was added, and the mixture was cooled to 5°C and stirred for 90 min, filtered and dried to afford 7.19 g of crystals of Compound 11 (yield: 83.4%, optical purity of (S)-isomer: 100%).

Compound 11

The optical purity was determined as follows.
(Sample Preparation)
25 mg of Compound 11 was weighed and dissolved in a solvent to prepare a 50 mL sample solution.
