Reaction Steps

Following the procedure as described in EXAMPLE 4 and making non-critical variations using 6-(chloromethyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxine (Capilla, A. S. et al., Tetrahedron (2001), 57:8297) to replace 2-(bromomethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran, and 2′-oxo-1′-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1′,2′-dihydrospiro[1-benzofuran-3,3′-indole]-6-carbonitrile to replace 5,6-dihydrospiro[benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuran-3,3′-indol]-2″(1′H)-one, 1′-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-6-ylmethyl)-2′-oxo-1′,2′-dihydrospiro[1-benzofuran-3,3′-indole]-6-carbonitrile was obtained (54%) as a colorless solid: mp 181-183° C. (dichloromethane/diethyl ether); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.29-7.16 (m, 1H), 7.15-6.97 (m, 3H), 6.89-6.75 (m, 5H), 5.04 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 4.94 (d, J=15.3 Hz, 1H), 4.80-4.67 (m, 2H), 4.25-4.19 (m, 4H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 176.2, 160.8, 143.8, 143.3, 142.2, 134.7, 131.3, 129.5, 128.5, 125.8, 124.4, 123.8, 123.7, 120.5, 118.5, 117.8, 116.3, 113.8, 113.3, 109.8, 80.2, 64.3 (2C), 57.8, 43.8.
