Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[(5S,9R)-3-(3,5-Dichlorophenyl)-1-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,3,7-triazaspiro[4.4]non-9-yl]-benzonitrile (0.1 g, 0.24 mmol) (Example 15a) in 1,2-DCE (4 mL) were sequentially added 5-Formyl-3-thiophenecarboxylic acid (0.045 g, 0.29 mmol) and sodium sulfate (150 mgs) under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The contents were stirred at room temperature for twenty hours and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.075 g, 0.336 mmol) was added. The reaction was allowed to continue at room temperature for six hours and quenched by the addition of water (15 mL). DCM (15 mL) was added, and sulfurdioxide gas was bubbled through the reaction mixture for ten minutes and the contents transferred into a separating funnel. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine (2×20 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by silica gel column chromatography using DCM and MeOH to yield 0.1 g of the titled compound. Retention time: 3.09 min. YMC S5 Combiscreen 4.6×50 mm (4 minute gradient). Solvent A=10% MeOH, 90% water and 0.2% phosphoric acid. Solvent B=90% MeOH, 10% water and 0.2% phosphoric acid.
