Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1-(((5S,7S)-3-(6-methoxy-4-methylpyridin-3-yl)-7-methyl-2-oxo-1-oxa-3-azaspiro[4.5]decan-7-yl)methyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carbonitrile (5000 mg, 11.22 mmol) and sodium iodide (5047 mg, 33.7 mmol) in Acetonitrile (42.900 mL) was added TMSCl (4.30 mL, 33.7 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. More sodium iodide (5047 mg, 33.7 mmol) and TMSCl (4.30 mL, 33.7 mmol) were added and stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated to remove MeCN, and the residue was partitioned between saturated aqueous sodium metabisulfite (30 mL) and 10% MeOH/DCM (50 mL). The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with 2×DCM. The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The material was purified by ISCO Rf chromatography (220 g column, silica load): 0-20% MeOH/DCM (20 min), 20% MeOH/DCM (20 min). Obtained 1-(((5S,7S)-7-methyl-3-(4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridin-3-yl)-2-oxo-1-oxa-3-azaspiro[4.5]decan-7-yl)methyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carbonitrile as a white foam (3.35 g, 69%). MS (m/z) 432.2 (M+H+).
