Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1′-[(6-chloropyridin-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-dihydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one (0.2 g, 0.5 mmol) and sodium tert-butoxide (0.06 g, 0.67 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (3 mL) was degassed with argon for 15 min. (R)-(−)-1-[(S)-2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)ferrocenyl}ethyldi-tert-butylphosphine (0.006 g, 0.01 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (0.01 g, 0.05 mmol), and benzophenone imine (0.1 mL, 0.6 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 24 h, allowed to cool to ambient temperature, diluted with dichloromethane (20 mL) and filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth. The pad was washed with dichloromethane (20 mL) and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography and eluted with a 25% to 35% gradient of ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford 1′-({6-[(diphenylmethylidene)amino]pyridin-2-yl}methyl)-2,3-dihydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one (0.19 g, 70%) as a colorless solid: MS (ES+) m/z 565.8 (M+1).
