The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 h, then filtered through a pad of celite. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was treated with diethyl ether/hexanes to afford 6-bromo-1′-{[5-(trifluoromethyl)furan-2-yl]methyl}spiro[1-benzofuran-3,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one (3.46 g, 78%) as a colorless solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.30 (td, J=7.9, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.16-7.03 (m, 3H), 6.69 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 6.93 (dd, J=8.2, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 6.77-6.71 (m, 1H), 6.53 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 6.42-6.37 (m, 1H), 5.06 (d, J=16.1 Hz, 1H), 4.97 (d, J=9.4 Hz, 1H), 4.86 (d, J=16.1 Hz, 1H), 4.71 (d, J=9.4 Hz, 1H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ176.5, 161.5, 151.8, 141.4, 131.6, 129.3, 128.0, 124.5 (d), 124.0, 114.2, 112.6 (d), 109.2 (d), 80.1, 57.5, 36.9; MS (ES+) m/z 463.9 (M+1), 465.9 (M+1).
