Sodium Hydroxide → (4S)-6-chloro-1,1-dioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno(3,2-e)thiazin-4-ol

Temperature

-40 °C

A 50-L, 5-necked flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer and a thermometer was flushed with nitrogen overnight. Working under nitrogen, the flask was charged with the product from Step B (855 g, 2.68 mol) and t-butyl methyl ether (MTBE, 12.5 L). The stirred suspension was cooled to -40° C. using a dry-ice/2-propanol bath and (+)-β-chlorodiisopino-campheylborane (4.5 L of a 1.2M solution in MTBE, 5.4 mol) was added via a cannula over 30 minutes, causing the temperature to rise to -32° C. The reaction mixture was maintained between -25° to -20° C. for 3.5 hours. The mixture was warmed to 0° C. and 1M sodium hydroxide (11 L) was added from an addition funnel over 10 minutes, causing the temperature to rise to 22° C. The biphasic mixture was stirred vigorously at ambient temperature for 2 hours, after which TLC analysis indicated complete cyclization. The phases were split, and the dark aqueous layer was extracted with t-butyl methyl ether (3 L), acidified to pH 1 using concentrated hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×4 L). The combined ethyl acetate extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (3 L), dried over sodium sulfate (1 kg), filtered, and concentrated to a volume of about 1 liter by rotary evaporation, at which point toluene (2 L) was added. As the remainder of the ethyl acetate was removed, the product crystallized from toluene. It was collected by filtration, washed with toluene (2 L) and methylene chloride (2 L, and dried in air at ambient temperature (498 grams, 77%): mp 126°-127° C.; [α]25D -5.9° (c=1, CH3OH). Analysis. Calculated for C6H6ClNO3S2 : C, 30.06; H, 2.52; N, 5.84. Found: C, 30.14; H, 2.56; N, 5.80.
