Methanol → Ethyl (6S)-5'-fluoro-2'-oxo-1'-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1',2',5,7-tetrahydrospiro[cyclopenta[b]pyridine-6,3'-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine]-3-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of ethyl (6S)-2′-oxo-5′-(tributylstannanyl)-1′-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1′,2′,5,7-tetrahydrospiro[cyclopenta[b]pyridine-6,3′-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine]-3-carboxylate (1.00 g, 1.37 mmol), sodium bicarbonate (231 mg, 2.74 mmol), silver(I) oxide (32 mg, 0.137 mmol), N-chloromethyl-N′-fluorotriethylenediammonium bis(tetrafluoroborate) (972 mg, 2.74 mmol), sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate (236 mg, 1.37 mmol) and methanol (0.278 mL, 6.86 mmol) in acetone (50 mL) in a sealed vessel was heated at 65° C. for 4 h. The resulting mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, poured into saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (50 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2×75 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with a gradient of CH2Cl2:EtOAc—100:0 to 50:50, to give the title compound. MS: m/z=458.4 (M+1).
