In the present invention, the methods of producing a fluorinated cyclic
benzamidine derivative (A), or a salt thereof, comprise the step of reacting a specific novel compound with
ammonia or
imide. The methods of this invention for producing a
morpholine-substituted
phenacyl derivative (B), or a salt thereof, comprise reaction of a specific novel compound with
morpholine, reaction of the product with a halogenating
reagent, and deketalization of the product. The methods of this invention for a producing cyclic
benzamidine derivative (C), or a salt thereof, comprise the step of
coupling compound (A), or a salt thereof, with compound (B), or a salt thereof, in the presence of an
ether or a
hydrocarbon. The methods of this invention for recrystallizing a cyclic
benzamidine derivative (C), or a salt thereof, comprise the steps of dissolving compound (C), or the salt thereof, in a mixed
solvent comprising an
alcohol and water, or a mixed
solvent comprising an
ether and water, and after
dissolution, adding additional water to precipitate crystals of compound (C), or the salt thereof.
