Reaction Steps
Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (10 mg) in a 10 mL CEM test tube under Ar was treated sequentially with 2′-amino-6-bromo-1′-methyl-2-phenylspiro[chroman-4,4′-imidazol]-5′(1′H)-one (20 mg, 0.05 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (1 mL), Cs2CO3 (2 N, 0.3 mL) and 3-(butylcarbamoyl)phenylboronic acid (23 mg, 0.1 mmol). The mixture was heated in a microwave reactor at 120° C. for 30 mins. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give the residue, which was purified by preparative TLC to give pure 3-(2′-amino-1′-methyl-5′-oxo-2-phenyl-1′,5′-dihydrospiro-[chroman-4,4′-imidazole]-6-yl)-N-butylbenzamide (12.4 mg, 50%). cis (2.50 mg, 10%). 1H-NMR (MeOD): 0.95 (m, 3H), 1.42 (m, 2H), 1.60 (m, 2H), 2.14 (d, 1H), 2.31 (t, 1H), 3.33 (s, 3H), 3.36 (d, 2H), 5.88 (d, 1H), 7.04 (d, 1H), 7.24 (s, 1H), 7.37 (m, 1H), 7.41 (t, 2H), 7.48 (d, 3H), 7.53 (d, 1H), 7.66 (d, 1H), 7.69 (d, 1H), 7.94 (s, 1H). trans (9.91 mg, 40%). 1H-NMR (MeOD): 0.96 (t, 3H), 1.43 (m, 2H), 1.61 (m, 2H), 2.03 (d, 1H), 2.52 (t, 1H), 3.33 (s, 3H), 3.39 (d, 2H), 5.30 (d, 1H), 7.05 (d, 1H), 7.25 (s, 1H), 7.39 (m, 1H), 7.42 (t, 2H), 7.47 (d, 3H), 7.53 (d, 1H), 7.67 (d, 1H), 7.70 (d, 1H), 7.93 (s, 1H).
