Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-methylphenyl)-3-trimethylsilyoxy-2-aza-1,3-butadiene prepared in example 17a in toluene (20 mL) was added E/Z-6-bromo-3-(3-chloro-benzylidene)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-indole prepared in example 157a (0.3 g, 0.83 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred and heated under microwave irradiation in a sealed tube at 135° C. for 0.5 h. After the solution was cooled to room temperature, methanol (50 mL) was added, and then the mixture was concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography (EtOAc:CH2Cl2=1:3) to give racemic (2′R,3R,4′S)-6-bromo-4′-(3-chlorophenyl)-2′-(2-methylphenyl)spiro[3H-indole-3,3′-piperidine]-2,6′(1H)-dione as a white solid. (Yield 0.22 g, 53%).
