Reaction Steps
Following the procedure as described in EXAMPLE 4 and making non-critical variations using 2-(chloromethyl)-3-fluoropyridine hydrochloride (Weidmann, K. et al., J. Med. Chem. (1992), (35):438) to replace 2-(bromomethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran, and 2,3-dihydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3′-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, 1′-[(3-fluoropyridin-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-dihydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one was obtained (25%) as a colorless solid: mp 247-249° C.
