Reaction Steps
Following the procedure as described in EXAMPLE 8 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 spiro[furo[2,3-f][1,3]benzodioxole-7,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one, and (S)-2-(iodomethyl)-1,4-dioxane to replace (R)-(1,4-dioxan-2-yl)methyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, 1′-[(2R)-1,4-dioxan-2-ylmethyl]-3,4-dihydro-2H-spiro[furo[2,3-h][1,5]benzodioxepine-9,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one was obtained (61%) as a colorless solid: mp 144-147° C.
