Reaction mixture was heated in a preheated oil bath to 55° C. for 38 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, filtered through a pad of celites and washed with DCE. Combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure to afford (R,E)-N-(4-(difluoromethyl)-2-fluorobenzylidene)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (266 mg) as a yellow oil, which was used without further purification. LCMS m/z 278.1 (M+H)+, Rt 0.98 min.
