Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-1′-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-5,7-dihydrospiro[cyclopenta[b]pyridine-6,3′-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine]-2′(1′H)-one (22.0 g, 49.3 mmol), PdCl2(dppf).CH2Cl2 (2.012 g, 2.46 mmol), and sodium acetate (8.1 g, 99 mmol) in in methanol (150 mL) was pressurized to 300 psi of carbon monoxide and then heated at 85° C. for 72 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool then concentrated. The residue was purified via silica gel chromatography (heptane initially, grading to 100% EtOAc) to give the title compound as a racemic mixture. MS: m/z=426.1 (M+1). Resolution of the enantiomers by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) using a ChiralPak® AD-H column and eluting with 40% ethanol in CO2 (0.05% diethylamine as modifier) provided the title compound as the second enantiomer to elute.
