Reaction Steps

To a solution of spiro[1H-isobenzofuran-3,1′-cyclobutane]-5-ol (Intermediate 24, 50 mg, 0.28 mmol) in dry acetonitrile (4 mL) dipotassium carbonate (58.8 mg, 0.43 mmol) and then 2-chloro-5-nitro-pyrimidine (43.0 mg, 0.27 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 4 hours at room temperature. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 ml) and washed with an aqueous saturated solution of ammonium chloride (2×10 ml). The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated. The residue was dissolved in ethanol (5 mL)/water (1 mL). Iron (95.0 mg, 1.7 mmol) and an aqueous 6M solution of hydrogen chloride (0.05 ml, 0.3 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 3 hours. The catalyst was filtered off and the solution was diluted with an aqueous saturated solution of NaHCO3 (10 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×15 ml). The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (Biotage system) on silica gel using a SNAP 10 g as column and cyclohexane/ethyl acetate from 60:40 to 0:100 as eluent affording the title compound (24 mg) as a light yellow solid.
