Diiodomethane → racemic (2'R,3R,4'S)-6-bromo-4'-(3-chlorophenyl)-2'-(1-methyl cyclopropyl)-2,3-dihydro-2,6'-dioxospiro[indole-3,3'-piperidine] 1-methoxyethyl trimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of diiodomethane (3.7 g, 0.013 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) was cooled in ice-salt bath. Then diethylzinc (1.1M in toluene, 10 mL, 11 mmol) was added dropwise into the above solution slowly. After the addition, the mixture was stirred for 10 min. To the resulting mixture was added a solution of racemic (2′R,3R,4′S)-6-bromo-4′-(3-chlorophenyl)-2′-isopropenyl-2,3-dihydro-2,6′-dioxospiro[indole-3,3′-piperidine]-1-methoxyethyl trimethylsilane prepared in Example 267a (800 mg, 1.4 mmol) in toluene (10 mL). The mixture was then allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 3 h, quenched with aqueous NH4Cl. The organic layer was separated, washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, purified by column chromatography to give title compound (800 mg).
