Tert-Butanesulfinamide → N-(2,2-Difluoro-3-oxo-3-(piperidin-1-yl)-1-(4-(4,4,4-trifluorobutoxy)phenyl)propylidene)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Intermediate 103B (1.97 g, 5.01 mmol) and 2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (1.821 g, 15.02 mmol) in anhydrous THF (25.04 mL) was added Ti(OEt)4 (5.19 mL, 25.04 mmol). The reaction was heated at refluxed temperature overnight. The reaction was cooled to rt, poured into brine, diluted with EtOAc, and stirred for 30 min. The titanium oxide was removed by filtering through a plug of Celite®. The filtrate layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (80 g silica gel, eluted with EtOAc in hexanes to yield the desired product (1.62 g, 59%) as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.56 (d, J=8.80 Hz, 2H), 6.95 (d, J=9.08 Hz, 2H), 4.07 (t, J=6.05 Hz, 2H), 3.62-3.69 (m, 1H), 3.52-3.58 (m, 1H), 3.39 (t, J=5.09 Hz, 2H), 2.26-2.37 (m, 2H), 2.05-2.11 (m, 2H), 1.53-1.70 (m, 7H), 1.25 (s, 9H).
