2-adamantyl Chloroformate → (+/-)-(2-Adamantyl) 7-bromo-3-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-2,3-dihydrospiro[indene-1,4'-piperidine]-1'-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100-mL flask was charged with (±)-ethyl 2-(7-bromo-2,3-dihydrospiro[indene-1,4′-piperidine]-3-yl)acetate (457 mg, 1.3 mmol) dissolved in dry CH2Cl2 (10 mL). TEA (394 mg, 3.9 mmol) was added at 0° C. and stirred for 1 h. 2-adamantyl chloroformate (301 mg, 1.4 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture was concentrated to give a residue was purified by column chromatography to give (±)-(2-adamantyl) 7-bromo-3-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-2,3-dihydrospiro[indene-1,4′-piperidine]-1′-carboxylate (270 mg, 39%). The enantiomers were separated by chiral HPLC to give isomer 1 (100 mg, 14%) and isomer 2 (100 mg, 14%).
