1'-(diphenylmethyl)-6-methoxyspiro[1-benzofuran-3,3'-indol]-2'(1'H)-one → 6-methoxyspiro[1-benzofuran-3,3'-indol]-2'(1'H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the procedure as described in EXAMPLE 3 and making non-critical variations using 1′-(diphenylmethyl)-6-methoxyspiro[1-benzofuran-3,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one to replace 1′-(diphenylmethyl)-6-methoxy-5-methylspiro[1-benzofuran-3,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one, 6-methoxyspiro[1-benzofuran-3,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one was obtained (98%) as a colorless solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ8.23-8.11 (br, 1H), 7.30-6.90 (m, 4H), 6.69 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.54 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 6.39 (dd, J=8.4, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 4.98 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 4.71 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 3.78 (s, 3H); MS (ES+) m/z 268.3 (M+1).
