Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-((4-oxo-1-phenyl-1,3,8-triazaspiro[4.5]decan-3-yl)methyl)benzoate (871 mg, 2.11 mmol, 1.05 equiv), 3-(3-iodopropyl)-1H-indole (574 mg, 2.01 mmol, 1 equiv), and potassium carbonate (833 mg, 6.03 mmol, 3 equiv) in N—N-dimethylformamide was heated at 65° C. for 16 h. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and worked up using ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified using preparatory thin layer chromatography in 7% methanol in dichloromethane to afford the title compound as cream crystals (252 mg, 46%); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 1.62 (d, 2H, J=12 Hz), 1.84 (bs, 2H); 2.41 (bs, 2H); 2.57 (bs, 2H); 2.67 (bs, 2H); 2.71-2.75 (m, 4H); 3.85 (s, 3H); 4.59 (s, 2H); 4.63 (s, 2H); 6.77 (d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz); 6.85 (d, 2H, J=8 Hz); 6.96 (t, 1H, J=6.8 and 7.6 Hz); 7.03-7.07 (m, 1H); 7.13 (bs, 1H); 7.22 (t, 2H, J=8 Hz); 7.33 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz); 7.52-7.59 (m, 3H); 7.89-7.91 (m, 2H); 10.75 (s, 1H); MS for C33H36N4O3 m/z 537.06 (M+H)+.
