Reaction Steps
Following the procedure as described in PREPARATION 44 and making non-critical variations using 3-bromopropionitrile to replace α-bromo-m-tolunitrile, and spiro[furo[2,3-f][1,3]benzodioxole-7,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one to replace 5,6-dihydrospiro[benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuran-3,3′-indol]-2″(1′H)-one, 3-(2′-oxospiro[furo[2,3-f][1,3]benzodioxole-7,3′-indol]-1′(2′H)-yl)propanenitrile was obtained (86%) as a colorless solid: mp 200-202° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ7.32 (ddd, J=7.6, 7.4, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.24 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.15 (d, J=6.7 Hz, 1H), 7.04 (ddd, J=7.4, 7.4, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 6.66 (s, 1H), 6.24 (s, 1H), 5.89 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 2H), 4.69 (ABq, J=9.3 Hz, 2H), 4.10-3.88 (m, 2H), 2.95 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 2H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ177.1, 155.8, 148.8, 142.2, 141.9, 132.3, 129.3, 124.1, 123.7, 120.1, 119.1, 109.8, 103.6, 101.9, 93.7, 80.3, 57.9, 35.9, 16.2; MS (ES+) m/z 335.1 (M+1).
