Reaction Steps

(S,E)-2-Methyl-N-((3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)methylene)propane-2-sulfinamide (0.493 g, 1.772 mmol) was dissolved in dry THF (10 mL) and cooled in an ice bath. 3,4-Dichlorophenylmagnesium bromide (Aldrich, 0.5 M solution in THF, 4.0 mL, 2.0 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. Saturated aqueous NH4Cl (10 mL), H2O (100 mL) and EtOAc (100 mL) were added, and the phases were mixed and separated. The organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. Purification using silica chromatography (hexane to EtOAc gradient) gave (S)—N—((S)-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)(3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)methyl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide.
