Reaction Steps
Following the procedure as described in EXAMPLE 12 and making non-critical variations using 3-fluoroaniline to replace cyclohexanemethylamine, and 4-[(2′-oxo-5,6-dihydrospiro[benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuran-3,3′-indol]-1′(2′H)-yl)methyl]benzoic acid to replace 3-[(2′-oxo-5,6-dihydrospiro[benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuran-3,3′-indol]-1′(2′H)-yl)methyl]benzoic acid, N-(3-fluorophenyl)-4-[(2′-oxo-5,6-dihydrospiro[benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuran-3,3′-indol]-1′(2′H)-yl)methyl]benzamide was obtained (50%) as a colorless solid: mp>250° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ8.03 (s, 1H), 7.89-7.82 (m, 2H), 7.63-7.56 (m, 1H), 7.48-7.41 (m, 2H), 7.34-7.15 (m, 4H), 7.09-7.01 (m, 1H), 6.89-6.80 (m, 1H), 6.78-6.72 (m, 1H), 6.47 (s, 1H), 6.42 (s, 1H), 5.01 (ABq, 2H), 4.82 (ABq, 2H), 4.57-4.48 (m, 2H), 3.01-2.92 (m, 2H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ178.3, 163.6 (d, JC-F=248.0 Hz), 161.4, 141.7, 139.7, 139.5 (d, JC-F=10.8 Hz), 134.3, 132.4, 130.0 (d, JC-F=9.4 Hz), 128.8, 127.9, 127.6, 124.1, 123.8, 120.0, 119.7, 118.7, 115.4 (d, JC-F=2.9 Hz), 111.2 (d, JC-F=21.3 Hz), 109.2, 107.6 (d, JC-F=26.4 Hz), 93.3, 80.5, 72.4, 57.8, 43.8, 28.9; MS (ES+) m/z 507.2 (M+1).
