Tetrahydrofuran → Ethyl5-((1R)-1-{[(R)-tert-butylsulfinyl]amino}ethyl)-2-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzoate

Temperature

80 °C

To a mixture of methyl 5-acetyl-2-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzoate (13.2 g, 49 mmol, PCT Int. Appl. WO2005003084), titanium (IV) ethoxide (100 ml) and THF (100 ml) was added (R)-(+)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (5.9 g, 49 mmol, Advanced Asymmetry) and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours at 80° C. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and then to 0° C. before it was added dropwise into a 0° C. solution of sodium borohydride (7.4 g, 195 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 3 hours and then warmed to room temperature. The reaction was quenched with MeOH and stirred for 30 minutes. Then to the mixture water was added. After stirring for 10 minutes, the resulting suspension was filtered through a celite pad and the filtered cake was washed with EtOAc. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue, which was applied to a silica gel chromatography column and eluted with a volume mixture of DCM and EtOAc (1/1) to afford 4.3 g (23% yield) of the title compound as pale yellow solids.
