Reaction Steps

Phenyl 1′-methyl-2′-oxo-1′,2,2′,3-tetrahydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3′-indole]-4′-carboxylate (0.30 g, 0.70 mmol), methylamine hydrochloride (0.12 g, 1.8 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.39 g, 2.8 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (3.0 mL) were added to a microwave reaction vessel. The reaction was heated at 100° C. for 0.5 h in a microwave reactor. Further, methylamine hydrochloride (0.20 g, 3.0 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated at 100° C. for an additional 45 min in a microwave reactor. The mixture allowed to cool to ambient temperature, poured into water (25 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (2×50 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The product was precipitated from dichloromethane with diethyl ether and subsequently recrystallized from ethyl acetate to afford N,1′-dimethyl-2′-oxo-1′,2,2′,3-tetrahydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3′-indole]-4′-carboxamide (0.08 g, 32%) as a colorless solid: mp 120-122° C. (ethyl acetate); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.41-7.31 (m, 1H), 7.25-7.19 (m, 1H), 6.98-6.93 (m, 1H), 6.49 (s, 1H), 6.20 (s, 1H), 5.19 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 4.87 (s, 2H), 4.21-4.08 (m, 4H), 3.26 (s, 3H), 2.64 (d, J=4.9 Hz, 3H); MS (ES+) m/z 366.9 (M+1).
