Reaction Steps

To a solution of the above prepared crude acetic acid 2-(5-chlorosulfonyl-3-methyl-thiophen-2-yl)-ethyl ester (53.3 g, ca. 177 mmol) in DCM (180 mL) were added 25% aqueous NH3 (53 mL, ˜700 mmol) and the biphasic reaction mixture was vigorously stirred at rt for 18 h. After the addition of DCM (1200 mL) the reaction mixture was washed with 10% brine (2×400 mL) and the aqueous layers were extracted with DCM (600 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated affording 48.5 g yellow crystalline residue which was crystallized from hot isobutyl acetate (500 mL) affording 34.8 g (74.7%, GC 97.9%) product as a off white powder. ESI-MS (m/z) 286 (M+Na+, 59); 264 (M+H+, 19).
