The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight, then filtered through celite and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography eluted with 0 to 10% ethyl acetate in hexanes to provide N-[(1E)-(5-bromo-3-fluoropyridin-2-yl)methylidene]-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide that gave proton NMR spectra consistent with theory and a mass ion (ES+) of 307.0 for M+H+ (81Br).
