Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinaldehyde (45.0 g, 257 mmol) in dichloroethane (640 mL) were added (S)-(−)-2-methyl-2-propanesulfinamide (34.3 g, 283 mmol) and anhydrous copper(II) sulfate (82 g, 514 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 50° C. After 48 h, the mixture cooled to ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite. The filtered cake was washed with dichloromethane and the filtrate was concentrated to give the title compound (76.8 g). MS 223.1 (M-tert-butyl+1)
