Reaction Steps

Following the procedure as described in EXAMPLE 2 and making non-critical variations using 1-(diphenylmethyl)-5-fluoro-3-(6-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-yl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one to replace 1-(diphenylmethyl)-3-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one, 1′-(diphenylmethyl)-5′-fluoro-5,6-dihydrospiro[benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuran-3,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one was obtained (71%) as a colorless solid: mp 228-229° C. (ethyl acetate/hexanes); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) 7.39-7.25 (m, 10H), 7.06 (s, 1H), 6.90-6.87 (m, 1H), 6.72-6.65 (m, 1H), 6.42-6.38 (m, 3H), 4.83 (ABq, 2H), 4.53 (t, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 3.02-2.97 (m, 2H); MS (ES+) m/z 464.1 (M+1).
