The present invention provides methods and intermediates for the preparation of (1aR,12bS)-8-cyclohexyl-11-fluoro-N-((1-methylcyclopropyl)sulfonyl)-1a-((3-methyl-3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl)carbonyl)-1,1a,2,12b-tetrahydrocyclopropa[d]indolo[2,1-a][2]benzazepine-5-carboxamide (formula I), including pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The compound has activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) and may be useful in treating those infected with HCV.

Methods and intermediates for the preparation of (4bS,5aR)-12-cyclohexyl-N-(N,N-dimethylsulfamoyl)-3-methoxy-5a-((1R,5S)-3-methyl-3,8-diazabicyclo [3.2.1]octane-8-carbonyl)-4b,5,5a,6-tetrahydrobenzo [3,4]cyclopropa[5,6]azepino[1,2-A]indole-9-carboxamide

A process is provided for preparing spiro-hydantoin compounds of the formula II wherein Z is N or CR; K and L are independently O or S; Ar is an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl; Ais a linker, G' is a linker; Q is a linker; and R, R, R, and Rare defined in the specification. The process optionally includes the enantiomeric separation of intermediates to allow preparation of enantiomers of the spiro-hydantoin compounds of formula II. Substituted spiro-hydantoin compounds may be prepared from the spiro-hydantoin compounds of formula II. The spiro-hydantoin compound of formula II and the substituted spiro-hydantoin compounds are useful in the treatment of immune or inflammatory diseases. Also, provided are products made by the instant inventive process and crystalline forms (prepared by any process) of the substituted spiro-hydantoin compound, 5-[(5S,9R)-9-(4-Cyanophenyl)-3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-1-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,3,7-triazaspiro[4.4]non-7-ylmethyl]-thiophene-3-carboxylic acid, including solvates and salts thereof, as well as methods of use thereof. Crystalline forms of certain intermediates are provided.
