The light brown solution was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was poured on ice and basified with 3 N NaOH followed by extraction with dichloromethane. The organic layer was separated, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness to give the crude and pure (R)-8-(2-fluoro-5-nitro-phenyl)-8-methyl-6,6-dioxo-6λ6-thia-9-aza-spiro[4.5]dec-9-en-10-ylamine (210 mg, 591 μmol, 107% yield) as an off-white foam. MS (ISP): m/z=356.5 [M+H]+.
