Reaction Steps

To a flask charged with potassium iodide (273 mg, 1.643 mmol), 2-cyano-2-methylpropyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (1140 mg, 4.93 mmol), cesium carbonate (3212 mg, 9.86 mmol), and (S)-2-amino-7′-bromo-4′-fluoro-5H-spiro[oxazole-4,9′-xanthen]-2′-ol (1200 mg, 3.29 mmol) was added 10 ml of DMF. The resulting slurry was heated for 1 hour at 60° C. The solution was quenched with water (20 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×25 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After being filtered and concentrated, the derived residue was purified via silica gel column chromatography using 15-70% 90/10/1 (CH2Cl2/MeOH/ammonia) in CH2Cl2 to afford (S)-3-(2-amino-2′-bromo-5′-fluoro-5H-spiro[oxazole-4,9′-xanthene]-7′-yloxy)-2,2-dimethylpropanenitrile as a brown solid. MS m/z=446.0 [M+H].
