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; 150 mg, 0.49 mmol), tetrabutylammonium iodide (181 mg, 0.49 mmol) and 4-methoxybenzyl bromide (280 μL, 1.94 mmol) in dimethylformamide (3 mL) was heated at 80° C. overnight. The solvent was evaporated, dichloromethane (50 mL) was added and the solution was washed with water (2×20 mL), saturated aqueous sodium thiosulfate (20 mL), and brine (20 mL). The solution was dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered, evaporated, and purified by column chromatography, eluting with 60-75% ethyl acetate/petroleum ether, and dried under high vacuum overnight to give (4S,7R)-2-(2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-7,8,8-trimethyl-1,2,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-4,7-methano-indazol-3-one (162 mg, 78%). APCI(+)-MS (M+H) 425.
