Sodium hydride → (1R,2S)-methyl-1-(2-(2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2'-oxospiro [cyclopropane-1,3'-indoline]-1'-yl)ethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl-imidazole-4-carboxylate (100 mg, 0.2 mmol) in 1 mL of anhydrous DMF was added NaH (60% disp.) (8.8 mg, 0.22 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at that temperature. To the mixture was added a solution of racemic (1R,2S) and (1S,2R)-1′-(2-bromoethyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)spiro[cyclopropane-1,3′-indolin]-2′-one (75.2 mg, 0.2 mmol) in 1 mL of DMF. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 14 hours and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layers were combined and washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as white solid (30 mg, 35%). LC/MS m/e calcd. for C23H20ClN3O3: 421, observed (M+H)+: 422.3.
