Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloro-N-[5-chloro-2-chlorophenyl]benzenesulfonamide (1.00 g, 2.97 mmol), triphenylphosphine (1.64 g, 6.24 mmol) and 5S-[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]-2-pentanol (1.30 g, 5.94 mmol) in THF (12 mL) was added diisopropylazodicarboxylate (1.23 mL, 6.24 mol) dropwise at 0° C. under nitrogen. The resulting mixture was allowed to warm to 22 DC with stirring. Stirring was continued for a period of 12 h followed by the addition of 25 mL of H2O. The mixture was extracted with ether (3×25 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with 1M NaHCO3 and sat. brine. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Silica gel chromatography (1:5 ethyl acetate:hexanes) of the concentrate afforded 830 mg of 4-chloro-N-[5-chloro-2-chlorophenyl]-N-[(R)-1-methyl-4-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)-dimethylsilyl]oxy)butyl]benzenesulfonamide as a yellow oil in 52% yield.
