Reaction Steps
Following the procedure as described in EXAMPLE 4 and making non-critical variations using 1-(bromomethyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene to replace 2-(bromomethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran, and (8R)-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, (8R)-1′-[2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-2,3-dihydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one was obtained (87%) as a colorless solid: mp 137-138° C.
