Benzyl Bromide → HCID 18449405, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (±)-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-5′-nitro-spiro[imidazolidine-4,2′-indane]-2,5-dione from Step A (165 mg, 0.45 mmol) in DMF (1 mL) was added sodium hydride (18 mg of a 60% dispersion in mineral oil, 0.45 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 5 min at ambient temperature and benzyl bromide (230 mg, 1.35 mmol) was added. After 30 min, the mixture was partitioned between saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (3 mL) and CHCl3 (5 mL). The aqueous phase was extracted further with CHCl3 (5 mL) and the combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with hexane:EtOAc—75:25, to give the title compound. MS: m/z=458 (M+1).
