Water → 3-(2-Methoxy-5-nitrobenzyl)-2-oxo-1-oxa-3,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (82 mg, 60% dispersion in mineral oil, weight percent) was suspended under a nitrogen atmosphere in DMF (5 mL). Compound A3 (0.5 g, 1.95 mmol) was added thereto and the reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min at RT. 2-Methoxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide (485 mg, 1.97 mmol) was added thereto. The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 h at RT, combined with water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed with sat. aq. NaCl solution, dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was removed under a vacuum. The residue was dissolved in a mixture of ether and heptane. After removal of the ether, the desired product 3-(2-methoxy-5-nitrobenzyl)-2-oxo-1-oxa-3,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (A87) (670 mg, 81% of theoretical) was obtained as a white solid by filtration.
