Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 4-(5-chloro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (637 mg, 1.923 mmol, 1 equiv), benzyl 3-(chloromethyl)benzoate (500 mg, 1.923 mmol, 1 equiv) and potassium carbonate (797.3 mg, 5.769 mmol, 3 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide was heated at 65° C. for 16 h. The reaction was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was further washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified using the Biotage flash chromatography system (SNAP, 50 g cartridge, Rf=0.4, gradient—5%-30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford the tert-butyl 3-(3-(benzyloxycarbonyl)benzyl)-4-oxo-1-phenyl-1,3,8-triazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate as an oil (913 mg, 85.6%). MS for C33H37N3O5 m/z 556.27 (M+H)+.
