Reaction Steps

To a suspension of racemic (2′R,3R,4′S)-6-chloro-4′-(3-chlorophenyl)-2′-(5-iodo-2-nitrophenyl)spiro[3H-indole-3,3′-piperidine]-2,6′(1H)-dione prepared in Example 201c (0.7 g, 1.15 mmol) in methanol (50 ml) was added aqueous NH4Cl solution (0.61 g, 11.5 mmol, 20 mL), followed by addition of Zn powder (0.75 g, 11.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, then filtered throught a short pad of celite. The filtrate was concentrated, extracted with ethyl acetate and dichloromethane. The organic layers were combined, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography (EtOAc, then EtOAc:MeOH=19;1) to give racemic (2′R,3R,4′S)-2′-(2-amino-5-iodophenyl)-6-chloro-4′-(3-chlorophenyl)spiro[3H-indole-3,3′-piperidine]-2,6′(1H)-dione as a white solid (Yield 0.41 g, 61%)
