Methyl iodide → 5-(5-(3-Fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]octan-7-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)picolinonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-(5-(3-fluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]octan-7-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)picolinonitrile (Compound 1, 100 mg, 0.23 mmol), methyl iodide (0.14 mL, 0.23 mmol), and potassium carbonate (31 mg, 0.23 mmol) in acetone (4 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. Excess potassium carbonate was removed and the reaction mixture was absorbed on silica gel and purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with 0 to 30% EtOAc/hexanes to afford 74 mg of 5-(5-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]octan-7-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)picolinonitrile as a white solid. LCMS [M+1]+ 451.4
