Carbon tetrabromide → 1-(2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethyl) 1'-tert-butyl 5-(bromomethyl)spiro[indoline-3,3'-pyrrolidine]-1,1'-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethyl) 1′-tert-butyl 5-(hydroxymethyl)spiro[indoline-3,3′-pyrrolidine]-1,1′-dicarboxylate (441 mg, 0.98 mmol) was dissolved in methylene chloride (10 mL). Thereafter, carbon tetrabromide (359 mg, 1.08 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (310 mg, 1.18 mmol) were added to the above obtained solution under cooling on ice, and the thus obtained mixture was then stirred at the same temperature as above for 2.5 hours. Thereafter, the reaction solution was concentrated in vacuo, and the obtained residue was then purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1) to obtain 1-(2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl) 1′-tert-butyl 5-(bromomethyl)spiro[indoline-3,3′-pyrrolidine]-1,1′-dicarboxylate (390 mg, 77%) in the form of a colorless amorphous product.
