Reaction Steps

A mixture of benzyl 4-oxo-1-phenyl-1,3,8-triazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (2.79 g, 7.63 mmol, 1 equiv), methyl 2-iodobenzoate (2 g, 7.63 mmol, 1 equiv) potassium carbonate (2.11 g, 15.26 mmol, 2 equiv), copper(II) iodide (145.32 mg, 0.763 mmol, 0.1 equiv) and N,N′-dimethyl ethylenediamine (164.25 μl, 1.526 mmol, 0.2 equiv) in acetonitrile was heated at 75° C. for 16 h. Upon cooling 10% citric acid was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified using the Biotage flash chromatography system (SNAP 100 g cartridge, Rf=0.3, gradient—5%-30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford the title compound as a white powder (2.35 g, 61.57%); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 1.85 (d, 2H, J=14 Hz); 2.35-2.51 (m, 2H); 3.49 (bs, 2H); 3.98-4.03 (m, 2H); 5.14 (s, 2H); 6.84-6.87 (m, 3H); 7.22-7.26 (m, 2H); 7.32-7.39 (m, 5H); 7.49-7.53 (m, 1H); 7.65 (dd, 1H, J=1.6 and 1.2 Hz); 7.70-7.75 (m, 1H); 7.86 (dd, 1H, J=1.2 and 1.6 Hz); MS for C29H29N3O5 m/z 500.21 (M+H)+.
