Procedure

To solution of the methylthio compound from step 4 (3.95 g, 11.5 mmol) in 45 ml of methanol was added an aqueous solution of Oxone® (6.94 g dissolved in 28 ml of water). After stirring at 25° C. for 4–5 hours, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, redissolved in 50 ml of methylene chloride and extracted with 50 ml of an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. The organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by chromatography (silica gel; 50% ethyl acetate/toluene) to provide 1.6 g of the desired product: mp 196° C. Anal Calc'd. for C17H14N3SO2F3: C, 53.54; H, 3.70; N, 11.02; S, 8.41. Found: C, 53.09; H, 3.43; N, 10.75; S, 8.69.
