反応手順

A solution of commercially available methyl 4-oxobutanoate (4.454 g; 38.36 mmol) in DCM (90 ml) was treated with 2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (4.650 g; 38.36 mmol) and with anh. CuSO4 (12.246 g; 76.73 mmol). The resulting heterogeneous mixture was further stirred at rt, under nitrogen, for 12 h. The resulting grey mixture was then filtered over a short pad of celite, and the separated solids were further washed with DCM. The obtained orange filtrate was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. Purification by FC (DCM/MeOH=25/1) afforded methyl 4-((tert-butylsulfinyl)imino)-butanoate as a yellow oil. LC-MS (conditions A): tR=0.56 min.; [M+H]+: 220.40 g/mol.
