Reaction Steps
Following the procedure as described in EXAMPLE 4 and making non-critical variations using 3-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile to replace 2-(bromomethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran, and (8S)-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, 3-{[(8S)-2′-oxo-2,3-dihydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]-benzodioxine-8,3′-indol]-1′(2′H)-yl]methyl}benzonitrile was obtained (75%) as a colorless solid: mp 94-96° C. (isopropyl alcohol); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.65-7.52 (m, 4H), 7.49-7.42 (m, 2H), 7.23-7.15 (m, 1H), 7.08-7.01 (m, 1H), 6.75-6.70 (m, 1H), 6.49 (s, 1H), 6.18 (s, 1H), 5.03 (d, J=15.8 Hz, 1H), 4.95-4.84 (m, 2H), 4.66 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 4.20-4.07 (m, 3H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 177.6, 155.3, 144.8, 141.5, 138.4, 137.4, 132.1, 131.8, 130.9, 129.9, 129.0, 124.3, 123.9, 120.7, 118.4, 113.1, 111.4, 108.8, 99.5, 80.1, 64.5, 63.9, 58.0, 43.4, 29.7; MS (ES+) m/z 411.0 (M+1). Anal. Calcd. for C25H18N2O4: C, 73.16; H, 4.42; N, 6.83. Found: C, 72.92; H, 5.05; N, 6.50.
