反応手順

The methyl 2-methyl-oxirane-carboxylate of formula (1), which was obtained by epoxidation, was reacted with 4-fluorothiophenol [formula (2)] in the presence of sodium hydride under the conditions listed in Scheme-2. The obtained methyl 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-(4-fluorophenylthio)-propionate of formula (3) was hydrolyzed with potassium hydroxide in aqueous ethanol over a period of 22 hours to yield the 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-(4-fluorophenylthio)-propionic acid of formula (4), which was converted into the acid chloride of formula (5) with thionyl chloride in dimethyl acetamide at −15° C.
