Reaction Steps

4-Iodo-2,3-dimethylaniline was converted into 4-iodo-2,3-dimethylphenyl isothiocyanate in a manner analogous to Method A2b. 2-(2,3-Dimethyl-4-iodophenylimino)-3-thia-1-azaspiro[4.4]nonane was prepared in a manner analogous to that described in Method C2a, then was alkylated with isobutyl bromide in a manner analogous to that described in Method D2a. A mixture of the iodophenyl compound (0.009 g, 0.021 mmol), (trimethylsilyl)acetylene (30 mL, 0.21 mmol), Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (0.005 g) and CuI (0.012 g, 0.063 mmol) in Et3N (2 mL) was stirred at room temp. for 18 h. The resulting slurry was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative TLC (2% EtOAc/hex) to give 2-(2,3-dimethyl-4-(2-trimethylsilyl-1-ethynyl)phenylimino)-1-isobutyl-3-thia-1-azaspiro[4.4]nonane (0.005 g, 59%).
