Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-methylspiro[2H-benzofuran-3,1′-cyclopropane]-4-ol (Intermediate 13, 18 mg, 0.1 mmol) in dry DMF (1 ml) potassium carbonate (27.6 mg, 0.2 mmol) and then 3-(2-chloropyrimidin-5-yl)-5,5-dimethyl-imidazolidine-2,4-dione (Intermediate 23, 20 mg, 0.083 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 80° C. After cooling the reaction mixture was quenched with water (1 ml), diluted with brine (5 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 ml). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (Biotage system) on silica gel using a 10 g SNAP column and cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 7:3 to cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 3:7 as eluents affording the title compound (18 mg) as a light beige solid.
