Methyl morpholine oxide → (NE)-N-[2-[1-[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy-3-methylcyclobutyl]ethylidene]-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

(1-Allyl-3-methylcyclobutoxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane (4.1000 g, 17.05 mmol) was dissolved in 150 ml of t-BuOH/H2O/THF (2/2/1) and osmium tetroxide (10.84 ml, 0.8525 mmol, 2.5 wt %) and 4-methylmorpholine oxide (2.996 g, 25.58 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred for 6 h and the mixture was diluted with 250 ml water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were evaporated and re-dissolved in 150 ml of t-BuOH/H2O/THF (2/2/1). Sodium periodate (4.741 g, 22.17 mmol) was added and stirring was continued for 6 h. The mixture was filtered and diluted with 250 ml of water. The mixture was extracted with Et2O and the combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, evaporated and re-dissolved in 100 ml CH2Cl2. Cupric sulfate anhydrous (8.164 g, 51.15 mmol), and (r)-(+)-2-methyl-2-propanesulfinamide (4.133 g, 34.10 mmol) were added at RT and stirring was continued over night. The reaction was filtered and hydrolyzed with 30 ml water. The mixture was extracted 3×EtOAc (3×150 ml) and the combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. Glass col. chrom. (20-50% EtOAc in Hex) provided (E)-N-(2-(1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-3-methylcyclobutyl)ethylidene)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide. Mixture of cis/trans at the cyclobutylring (4:1).
