Participants

Reaction Steps

(S)-Spiro[1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3,5′-oxazolidin]-2′-one (471 mg, 2.58 mmol), 2,4-dibromothiophene (1.875 g, 7.75 mmole), copper (I) iodide (492 mg, 2.58 mmol), potassium carbonate (715 mg, 5.17 mmol) and ethylenediamine (170 μL, 2.58 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (5 mL) were stirred at 110° C. overnight. The solution was allowed to cool, and then filtered, washed with aqueous ammonium hydroxide and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography using a gradient of ammoniated methanol in chloroform to give the title compound as a yellow solid (560 mg), m/z 343, 345 (MH+).
