Ethyl bromoacetate → HCID 66864899, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of tert-butyl (3R)-3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-3-methyl-5-oxo-1,4-diazaspiro[5.5]undecane-1-carboxylate from Step H (60 mg, 0.152 mmol) in THF (0.5 mL) at 0° C. was added NaH (12 mg of a 60% dispersion in oil, 0.30 mmol). After 5 min, ethyl bromoacetate (437 mg, 2.62 mmol) was added and the mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirring was continued for 1 h. Saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (2 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×5 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with a gradient of hexane:EtOAc—95:5 to 60:40, to give the title compound. MS: m/z=425 (M−C4H7).
