Potassium Iodide → 8-[4,4-Bis(4-fluorophenyl)-3-butenyl]-4-methylene-2-oxo-3-phenyl-1-oxa-3,8-diazaspiro[4,5]decane

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 8.4 g of 4-methylene-2-oxo-3-phenyl-1-oxa-3,8-diazaspiro[4,5]decane, 18.4 g of 4,4-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-3-butenyl chloride, 0.3 g of potassium iodide, 9.2 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 81 ml of methyl isobutyl ketone is mildly refluxed under argon while stirring for 12 hours. After cooling down and filtering off the inorganic salts, the precipitate is washed with methyl isobutyl ketone, the filtrate is washed with water to neutral, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, then the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure. After triturating the evaporation residue with n-hexane, the precipitate is filtered and recrystallized from ethanol to give the title compound in 83.5% yield, m.p.: 136.5°-137.5° C.
