Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-isothiocyanato-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile (1a) (2.16 g, 9.47 mmol) and N-methyl-4-(1-cyanocyclobutylamino)-2-fluorobenzamide (52c) (1.303 g, 5.27 mmol) in DMF (20 ml) was heated under microwave irradiation at 80° C. for 16 hours. To this mixture was added methanol (50 ml) and aq. 2N HCl (20 ml). The second mixture was refluxed for 3 hours. After being cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into cold water (100 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (150 ml). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated and chromatographed (dichloromethane:acetone, 95:5) to yield N-methyl-4-[7-(4-cyano-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diaza-spiro[3.4]oct-5-yl]-2-fluorobenzamide (52d) [RD162] (1.43 g, 3.0 mmol, 57%), the structure of which is illustrated in Formula 28, as a yellow powder.
