Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7b (0.041 g, 0.1 mmol) in HCl aq., 2N (3 ml) and methanol (1 ml) was heated to reflux 2 h. After being cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into cold water (5 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (6 ml). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated and chromatographed (dichloromethane) to yield 4-(8-oxo-6-thioxo-5-(4-methylphenyl)-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]oct-7-yl)-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrite, 4-(8-oxo-6-thioxo-5-(4-methylphenyl)-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]oct-7-yl)-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile, 7c (0.04 g, 0.096 mmol, 96%) as a white powder.
