Sodium Phosphate, Dibasic → (1R*,2R*,4'S*,5S*)2',3',4',5'-Tetrahydro-4'-[(2RS)-2,3-dihydro-2-methyl-5-trifluoromethoxybenzofuran-7-yl]-1-phenylspiro[8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2,2'-furan]

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium amalgam (10%, 2 g) was added in small portions to stirred mixture of (1R*,2R*,4S*,5R*)-2′,3′,4′,5′-tetrahydro-4′-[(2RS)-2,3-dihydro-2-methyl-5-trifluoromethoxybenzofuran-7-yl]-1-phenyl-6-phenylsulphonylspiro[8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2,2′-furan] (Example 18; 160 mg, 0.26 mmol), disodium hydrogen orthophosphate (500 mg), methanol (10 ml) at +5° C. After reaction went to completion, the mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, decanted and extracted into dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane:methanol) to give the title compound (83 mg, 67%).
