Ethyl Acetate → N-(7'-Bromo-4-methoxy-3',4'-dihydro-1'H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,2'-naphthalene]-1'-ylidene)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

7′-Bromo-4-methoxy-3′,4′-dihydro-1′H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,2′-naphthalen]-1′-one (Intermediate 9, 2.26 g, 6.99 mmol), 2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (1.27 g, 10.5 mmol) and titanium ethoxide (2.88 mL, 14.0 mmol) were dissolved in 2-Me THF (15 mL) and heated to reflux over the weekend. The reaction was stopped and cooled to r.t. EtOAc (30 mL) and water (15 mL) were added under stirring. The mixture was then let to stand without stirring for 1 h. The organic phase was collected by filtration, dried using a phase separator and concentrated in vacuo. The product was purified by flash column chromatography using a gradient of 0-100% EtOAc in heptane to give the title compound (0.61 g, 20% yield): MS (ES+) m/z 426.11 [M+H]+.
