Reaction Steps

Add zinc cyanide (0.016 g, 0.13 mmol) and tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium(0) (0.018 g, 0.02 mmol) to a solution of 1′-(5-iodo-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-spiro[isobenzofuran-1,4′-piperidin]-3-one (0.1 g, 0.22 mmol) in NMP (2 mL). Heat the reaction mixture at 130° C. for 19 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, dilute the mixture with EtOAc (20 mL), and wash with water (20 mL) and saturated aqueous NaCl (20 mL). Dry the organic portion over Na2SO4, filter and concentrate. Purify by preparative TLC (80% EtOAc-hexane) to obtain 1′-(5-cyano-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-spiro[isobenzofuran-1,4′-piperidin]-3-one as a white solid.
