Reaction Steps

To a solution of crude 7-chloro-2-(4-methoxybenzyl)spiro[isoindoline-1,4′-piperidine]-3-thione TFA salt (prepared from TFA deprotection of tert-butyl 7-chloro-2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-thioxospiro[isoindoline-1,4′-piperidine]-1′-carboxylate (52 mg, 0.11 mmol)) in 1:1 MeCN:10% aq K2CO3 (10 mL), was added 2-adamantylisocyanate (50 mg, 0.30 mmol, 2.6 equiv) and the mixture stirred was for 2 h. After this time LC-MS analysis showed formation of the desired urea. The mixture was concentrated to ˜50% of its original volume and diluted with EtOAc. The mixture was washed with 1.0 M aq HCl and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (4 g), eluting with 20-80% EtOAc in hexanes, affording 7-chloro-N-(2-adamantyl)-2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-thioxospiro[isoindoline-1,4′-piperidine]-1′-carboxamide (51 mg, 0.093 mmol, 85% yield) of the desired thiolactam-urea as a pale yellow solid.
