Reaction Steps
Following the procedure as described in EXAMPLE 4 and making non-critical variations using 3,4-dihydro-2H-spiro[furo[2,3-h][1,5]benzodioxepine-9,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one to replace 5,6-dihydrospiro[benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuran-3,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one, and 2-(bromomethyl)pyridine hydrobromide to replace 2-(bromomethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran, 1′-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-spiro[furo[2,3-h][1,5]benzodioxepine-9,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one was obtained (90%) as a colorless solid: mp 122-123° C.
