Procedure
To a mixture of N-(3-cyanooxetan-3-yl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (0.1 g, 0.494 mmol) in methanol (2 ml) in a 50 ml sealed tube was added N-acetyl-L-(+)-cysteine (0.081 g, 0.494 mmol), and the reaction mixture stirred for few minutes. A solution of ammonia in methanol (0.5 ml, 3.50 mmol, 7 N) was added, and the reaction mixture stirred at 60° C. for overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under vacuum, and the crude was used for the next step without further purification.
