Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4S,7R)-2-(2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-7,8,8-trimethyl-1,2,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-4,7-methano-indazol-3-one (Intermediate 14; 100 mg, 0.33 mmol), tetrabutylammonium iodide (85 mg, 0.23 mmol) and 2-fluoro-benzyl bromide (164 μL, 1.3 mmol) in dimethylformamide (2 mL) was heated at 100° C. overnight. Dichloromethane (50 mL) and a mixture of water (13 mL) and brine (6 mL) were added. The organic layer was washed with 10% aqueous sodium thiosulfate (20 μL), and brine (20 mL). The solution was dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered, evaporated, and purified by column chromatography, eluting with 50-60% ethyl acetate/petroleum ether, to give (4S,7R)-2-(2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-1-(2-fluoro-benzyl)-7,8,8-trimethyl-1,2,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-4,7-methano-indazol-3-one (106 mg, 78%) as a pale solid. ES(+)-MS (M+H) 413.
