Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 500 mL RBF containing 2-fluoro-2-phenylacetaldehyde (320.00 mg, 2316.5 μmol) was added DCM (10 mL) and the mixture was allowed to stir at 23° C. for 2 min. At this time, (R)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (364.99 mg, 3011.5 μmol) was added in one portion to the mixture followed by copper(II) chloride (856.51 mg, 6370.4 μmol) at 5:30 pm. The reaction was allowed to stir overnight and then filtered through a plug of celite over silica gel. The solvent was removed and the crude residue was purified on a silica gel column (15 to 35% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the product (168 mg, 30%).
