When the reaction solution was neutralized with an inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide (e.g. Example 1-5), precipitates appeared during neutralization. The obtained precipitates were a metastable crystal form II or mixture of a stable crystal form I and a metastable crystal form II. The size of the obtained crystals was small and the filtration speed was slow.
On the other hand, when the reaction solution was neutralized with triethylamine, such as in Example 1-4, or iPr2NEt, the precipitates did not appeared during neutralization. The precipitates appeared during the subsequent addition of water. The obtained precipitates were the crystal form I. The size of the obtained crystals was larger and the filtration speed was faster than that by using an inorganic base. The results are shown below.

Single Crystal Structure Analysis
0.1 g of Compound 15 was added to 10 mL of acetonitrile, and dissolved at 60° C. The solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for 2 days, and single crystals of Compounds 15 were recrystallized.
X-ray diffraction intensities for the single crystal Form I of Compound 15 were collected on a Rigaku R-AXIS RAPID imaging plate area detector with graphite monochromated Cu Kα radiation (X=1.54187A) at −100.0° C. Data collection and reduction were performed using RAPID-AUTO (RAPID-AUTO. Rigaku Corporation, 2006). Data were corrected by the Lorentz polarization and absorption factors.
The crystal structure was solved by the direct-method program SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, G. M. (2008), Acta Cryst. A64, 112-122), and refined using SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, G. M. (2008), Acta Cryst. A64, 112-122) with full-matrix least squares and anisotropic temperature factors for all non-hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atoms were located by calculation and refined as riding model using the default parameter of SHELXL97. R1 (I>2.00s(I)) was 0.0680, and no missing or misplaced electron density observed in the final difference Fourier.
The asymmetric unit contains two Compound 15 molecules, which are herein after referred to as “Molecule I” and “Molecule II”. The absolute configuration of the molecule was based on using Flack Parameter (Flack, H. D. (1983), Acta Cryst. A39, 876-881). The Flack parameter (x) was determined to be 0.05(2), and thus, the absolute configuration of Molecule I and Molecule II were both confirmed as S configuration.
Crystal data and data collection parameters of X-ray diffraction analysis are shown in Table 9. Atomic coordinates of non-hydrogen atom and hydrogen atom are shown in Table 10 (non-hydrogen atom) and Table 11 (hydrogen atom).

Fluctuation Ames Test
Each 20 μL of freeze-stored Salmonella typhimurium (TA98 and TA100 strain) was inoculated in 10 mL of liquid nutrient medium (2.5% Oxoid nutrient broth No. 2), and the cultures were incubated at 37° C. under shaking for 10 hours. 7.70 mL of TA98 culture was centrifuged (2000×g, 10 minutes) to remove medium, and the bacteria was suspended in 7.70 mL of Micro F buffer (K2HPO4: 3.5 g/L, KH2PO4: 1 g/L, (NH4)2 SO4: 1 g/L, trisodium citrate dihydrate: 0.25 g/L, MgSO4 7H2O: 0.1 g/L), and the suspension was added to 120 mL of Exposure medium (Micro F buffer containing Biotin: 8 μg/mL, histidine: 0.2 μg/mL, glucose: 8 mg/mL). 3.42 mL of TA100 culture was added to 130 mL of Exposure medium to prepare the test bacterial solution. 588 μL of the test bacterial solution (or mixed solution of 498 μL of the test bacterial solution and 90 μL of the S9 mix in the case with metabolic activation system) are mixed with each 12 μL of the following solution: DMSO solution of the test compound (several stage dilution from maximum dose 50 mg/mL at 2 to 3-fold ratio); DMSO as negative control; 50 μg/mL of 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide DMSO solution as positive control for TA98 without metabolic activation system; 0.25 μg/mL of 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide DMSO solution as positive control for TA100 without metabolic activation system; 40 μg/mL of 2-aminoanthracene DMSO solution as positive control for TA98 with metabolic activation system; or 20 μg/mL of 2-aminoanthracene DMSO solution as positive control for TA100 with metabolic activation system. A mixed solution was incubated at 37° C. under shaking for 90 minutes. 460 μL of the bacterial solution exposed to the test compound was mixed with 2300 μL of Indicator medium (Micro F buffer containing biotin: 8 μg/mL, histidine: 0.2 μg/mL, glucose: 8 mg/mL, Bromo Cresol Purple: 37.5 μg/mL), each 50 μL was dispensed into 48 wells/dose in the microwell plates, and was subjected to stationary cultivation at 37° C. for 3 days. A well containing the bacteria, which has obtained the ability of proliferation by mutation in the gene coding amino acid (histidine) synthase, turns the color from purple to yellow due to pH change. The number of the yellow wells among the 48 total wells per dose was counted, and evaluate the mutagenicity by comparing with the negative control group. The results are shown in Table 12. (−) means that mutagenicity was negative.
Ames Test
Ames test is performed by using Salmonellas (Salmonella typhimurium) TA 98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2uvrA as test strains to evaluate gene mutagenicity of the test compound. 0.1 mL of the test compound (DMSO solution) is mixed with 0.5 mL of S9 mix in the presence of metabolic activation or 0.5 mL of phosphate buffer in the absence of metabolic activation, and 0.1 mL of test strain suspension. The mixture is preincubated at 37° C. in the water bath for 20 minutes under shaking. After the preincubation, the mixture with 2 mL of layer soft agar, which contains histidine and biotin, or tryptophan, is overlaid on minimal glucose agar plates. Concurrently, negative control substance (DMSO) and positive control substance (2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide, sodium azide, 9-aminoacridine, or 2-aminoanthracene) are also prepared. After incubation at 37° C. for 48 hours, the number of appeared revertant colonies are counted and evaluated by comparing with negative control group. It is judged to be positive when the number of revertant colonies is concentration-dependently increased and twofold or greater increased over the number of colonies of negative control group.
