Reaction Steps

A solution of (4R,7S)-2-(2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-7,8,8-trimethyl-1,2,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-4,7-methano-indazol-3-one (Intermediate 42; 101 mg, 0.33 mmol), sodium iodide (53 mg, 0.35 mmol) and 2,4-difluorobenzyl bromide (0.22 mL, 1.68 mmol) in dimethylformamide (0.8 mL) was heated under microwave irradiation at 150° C. for 1 h. Ethyl acetate was added and the solution was washed with 10% aqueous sodium thiosulfate (three times), dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, evaporated, and purified on an RS-4g silica gel column, eluting with 20-100% ethyl acetate/hexanes to give (4R,7S)-1-(2,4-Difluoro-benzyl)-2-(2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-7,8,8-trimethyl-1,2,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-4,7-methano-indazol-3-one (82 mg, 58%) as a light brown foam. ES(+)-MS (M+H) 431.
