Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1R,2S)-2-(1H-indazol-6-yl)-5′-methylspiro[cyclopropane-1,3′-indolin]-2′-one (680 mg, 2.35 mmol) in DMF (16 mL) was added K2CO3 (544 mg, 4 mmol), followed by iodine (851 mg, 3.2 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred for 3 h at rt, cooled to 0° C., quenched with sat. Na2S2O3, diluted with H2O, extracted with EtOAc (50 mL×3) and dried (Na2SO4). Evaporation of solvents and purification by Biotage Isolera (EtOAc/hexane gradient: 10-90%) gave the title compound as a light yellow solid (794 mg, 81%; >98% e.e.). The major (1R,2S)-enantiomer eluted at 9.6 min (Phenomenex Lux 5u Cellulose-2 (150×4.6 mm); isocratic 10% EtOH in n-hexane 1.75 L/min; ambient temperature; Detection: 254, 214 nm). From the racemic reference standard, the retention time of the (1S,2R)-enantiomer was 7.7 min using this method. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 13.46 (s, 1H), 10.51 (s, 1H), 7.47 (s, 1H), 7.32 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.02 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 6.81 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 6.73 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 5.86 (s, 1H), 3.16 (t, overlapping with trace MeOH residue), 2.32-2.25 (m, 1H), 2.00-1.93 (m, 1H), 1.85 (s, 3H); MS ESI 416.0 [M+H]+, calcd for [C18H14IN3O+H]+ 416.0.
