Reaction Steps

A solution containing 2-nitro-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (0.777 g, 3.77 mmol) and 7-(bromomethyl)-3-neopentyl-1-oxa-3-azaspiro[4.5]decan-2-one (1.00 g, 3.14 mmol) in DMF (15 mL) was treated with cesium carbonate (3.07 g, 9.43 mmol) and stirred at 60° C. overnight. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with saturated, aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and the product was extracted into DCM. The organics were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. The residue was purified on a 120 g silica gel column (10-60 EtOAc/hexanes; 65 mL/min elution; 254 nm detection) to afford the title compound (0.260 g, 19 yield). MS (m/z) 444.2 (M+H+).
