Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of spiro[2.5]octan-1-ylmethanol (prepared according to Huang and Forsyth, Tetrahedron 1997, 53, 16341) (0.40 g, 2.87 mmol) in anhydrous dimethylsulfoxide (5 mL) was added potassium tert-butoxide (0.81 g, 7.24 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at ambient temperature. To this reaction mixture was added N-(azetidin-1-ylsulfonyl)-5-chloro-2,4-difluorobenzamide (0.90 g, 2.89 mmol) and stirred for 2 hours. The mixture was poured into 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid, the layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine; dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate; filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (0% to 30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford the title compound (0.49 g, 39%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 11.81 (br s, 1H), 7.78 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.26 (d, J=12.5 Hz, 1H), 4.35-4.31 (dd, J=10.9, 6.3 Hz, 1H), 4.04 (t, J=7.7 Hz, 5H), 2.17 (q, J=7.7 Hz, 2H), 1.77-0.94 (m, 11H), 0.57-0.55 (dd, J=8.5, 4.3 Hz, 1H), 0.30 (t, J=4.7 Hz, 1H); MS (ES−) m/z 429.20 (M−1).
