Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloro-N-[5-chloro-2-fluorophenyl]benzenesulfonamide (500 mg, 1.56 mmol), triphenylphosphine (859 mg, 3.28 mmol) and 5S-[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]-2-pentanol (682 mg, 3.12 mmol) in THF (7 mL) was added diisopropylazodicarboxylate (0.645 mL, 3.28 mol) dropwise at 0° C. under nitrogen. The resulting mixture was allowed to warm to 22° C. with stirring. Stirring was continued for a period of 12 h followed by the addition of 15 mL of H2O. The mixture was extracted with ether (3×15 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with 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 495 mg of 4-chloro-N-[5-chloro-2-fluorophenyl]-N-[(R)-1-methyl-4-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)-dimethylsilyl]oxy)butyl]benzenesulfonamide as a yellow oil in 61% yield.
