To this mixture was then added Copper (II) Sulfate (0.842 g, 5.28 mmol). Reaction mixture heated in a preheated oil bath to 55° C. for 24 hr. The reaction mixture was filtered through a celite pad washing solids with DCE. Combined filtrate was concentrated to afford a viscous yellow oil of (R,E)-N-(2,3-difluorobenzylidene)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (0.8007 g, 3.26 mmol, 93% yield). MS m/z 246.1 (M+H)+; Rt-0.91 min.
