Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5′-bromo-4-methoxy-5″-methyldispiro[cyclohexane-1,2′-[1]benzofuran-3′,2″-imidazole]-4″(3″H)-thione (Example 29 Step 3, 365 mg, 0.92 mmol) and 7M ammonia in MeOH (10 mL, 70.00 mmol) was prepared in a microwave vial. The vial was sealed and the reaction was heated at 120° C. for 30 min in a microwave reactor. The mixture was concentrated and the residue was dissolved in 7M ammonia in MeOH (4 mL) and heated once more at 120° C. for 30 min using MW. Again, the mixture was concentrated, 7M ammonia in MeOH (10 mL, 70.00 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated at 120° C. The mixture was concentrated and the crude product was dissolved in 20% MeOH in DCM and filtered through a silica pad and eluted is with 20% MeOH in DCM. After concentration of the organic layer, DCM was added to the residue. A solid was formed which was filtered off and washed with DCM, yielding 94 mg of the title compound (27% yield). The mother liquor was concentrated, Et2O was added and the solid was filtered off and dried, yielding a second crop of the title compound (85 mg, 24% yield). 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 1.19 (d, 1 H), 1.43 (m, 3 H), 1.80 (d, 2 H), 1.95 (m, 2 H), 2.20 (s, 3 H), 3.07 (d, 1 H), 3.21 (s, 3 H), 6.68 (d, 1 H), 6.74 (br. s., 2 H), 6.87 (d, 1 H), 7.31 (dd, 1 H); MS (ES+) m/z 379 [M+H]+.
