Reaction Steps

NCS (27 mg, 0.2 mmol) and acetic acid (1 mL) were added to a solution of N-Ethylcarbamate-5-methyl-8-methyl-1,2,3,3a,8,8a-hexahydroindeno[1,2-c]pyrrole (50 mg, 0.2 mmol) in DCE (1 mL). The reaction solution was stirred for 3 hours at 60° C. The reaction was diluted with CH2Cl2 (3 mL) and H2O (3 mL) and filtered through an Extrelut column. The column was washed with CH2Cl2 and the filtrate was concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (SiO2) using a 0-60% ethyl acetate-hexanes gradient to afford the subtitle compound. MS calculated for C16H20ClNO2+H: 294, observed: 294.
