Reaction Steps
Following the procedure as described in EXAMPLE 4 and making non-critical variations using 2,3-dihydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one to replace 5,6-dihydrospiro[benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuran-3,3′-indol]-2″(1′H)-one, and 4-(bromomethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran to replace 2-(bromomethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran, 1′-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethyl)-2,3-dihydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one was obtained (95%) as a colorless solid: mp 129-131° C.
