1,3-Dihydro-5-nitro-1'-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)spiro(2H-indene-2,3'-(3H)pyrrolo(2,3-b)pyridin)-2'(1'H)-one → HCID 67016448, compound

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10% Pd/C (3 g) and (±)-5-nitro-1′-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1,3-dihydrospiro[indene-2,3′-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin]-2′(1′H)-one from Step A (19.1 g, 46.4 mmol) was stirred vigorously in EtOH (400 mL) under an atmosphere of hydrogen (cd. 1 atm). After 18 h, the mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite, washing extensively with MeOH, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the crude racemic compound. The enantiomers were resolved by HPLC, utilizing a Chiralcel OD column and eluting with MeOH. The first major peak to elute was (S)-5-amino-1′-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1,3-dihydrospiro[indene-2,3′-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin]-2′(1′H)-one, the title compound, and the second major peak to elute was (R)-5-amino-1′-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1,3-dihydrospiro[indene-2,3′-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin]-2′(1′H)-one. MS: m/z=382 (M+1).
