tert-Butylsulfinamide, (R)-(+)- → HCID 178455588, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (trans-4-(2-(benzyloxy)ethyl)cyclohexanecarbaldehyde (6.45 g, 26.18 mmol) and (R)-(+)-tert-butylsulfinamide (3.49 g, 28.8 mmol) in THF (66 mL) was added titanium(IV) ethoxide (8.78 mL, 41.89 mmol) under N2. The resulting solution was stirred at rt for 20 h and quenched by addition of saturated NaHCO3 solution dropwise. The mixture was vigorously stirred for 30 min and filtered through a pad of Celite, concentration. Purification by flash column chromatography (eluent: 20% EtOAc in hexanes to 30%) gave the titled product (8.38 g, 92%). LC/MC: 350.1 (MH)+.
