Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to a method for producing a pyrrolidine compound having a spirooxindole structure. 
       BACKGROUND ART 
       [0002]    A method which involves using, as a reaction substrate, aldimine synthesized from an aldehyde and an amine as starting materials to synthesize a racemic compound through a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction in the presence or absence of a catalyst that promotes the reaction is known as a method for synthesizing a pyrrolidine compound having a bicyclic spirooxindole structure (Non Patent References 1 to 4). The obtained racemic compound can be resolved using a chiral column based on a technique such as HPLC or supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) to separate a desired optically active form. 
         [0003]    An asymmetric synthesis method through a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction using a chiral element has been reported as a method for stereoselectively synthesizing the compound mentioned above (Non Patent References 5 and 6). In addition, a method for producing a pyrrolidine compound having a tricyclic dispirooxindole structure through a 1,3-dipolar addition reaction using, as a reaction substrate, ketimine synthesized with an amine and a ketone as starting materials has also been reported (Patent Reference 1). 
         [0004]    Meanwhile, as for catalytic asymmetric synthesis methods of the compound mentioned above, a large number of studies have been made on catalytic asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions using aldimine as a reaction substrate (Non Patent References 7 to 18). Nonetheless, no report has been made on the synthesis of a tricyclic dispiroindole using ketimine with a ketone and an amine as reaction substrates.

       [0400]    To a solution of the compound (501 mg, 1.08 mmol, 99% ee) obtained in the preceding step 1 and trans-4-aminocyclohexanol (157 mg, 1.36 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (5 ml), 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (392 mg, 1.42 mmol) was added under ice cooling, and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture, ethyl acetate (10 ml) and water (5 ml) were added, and the mixture was stirred to separate an organic layer. The aqueous layer was subjected to extraction with ethyl acetate (10 ml), and the organic layers were all combined and then washed with water three times (10 ml each). The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. To the residue, acetonitrile (15 ml) was then added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The deposited crystals were filtered and dried under reduced pressure at 40° C. to obtain the title compound (426 g, yield: 70%, &gt;99.5% ee) as a white solid.
