Reaction Steps

To a cold suspension of 2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-5-sulfonylchloride (5.28 g, 21.5 mmol) in a 1:1 mixture of THF:CHCl3 (254 mL) was added drop-wise via syringe pump a solution of (S)-(+)-2-(methoxymethyl)-pyrrolidine (3.45 mL, 28.0 mmol, 1.3 eq) (Aldrich) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (7.49 mL, 43 mmol, 2 eq) in CHCl3 (42 mL) over a period of 70 minutes under a dry N2 atmosphere with cooling in an ice bath. After stirring an additional 20 minutes the mixture was concentrated. The residue was flash chromatographed (Biotage KP silica gel, 98/2 CH2Cl2/CH3OH) to give the title compound as a dark greenish-yellow foam (6.48 g. 93% yield). NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): consistent MS: (API-ES−) m/z 323 [M−H].
