Reaction Steps

To a microwave vial with stir bar was added (R)—N—((S)-1-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)ethyl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (500 mg, 1.55 mmol) followed by the addition of tributyl(1-ethoxyvinyl)stannane (1.12 g, 3.10 mmol), triethylamine (0.65 ml, 4.65 mmol) and PdCl2(dppf). CH2Cl2 adduct (63 mg, 0.078 mmol). To the solids was added toluene (10 ml). Vial capped and heated in a preheated sand bath at 100° C. for 1 hour. Reaction mixture was loaded onto silica gel column. Silica gel column chromatography (MeOH/CH2Cl2 0 to 10% with 1% NH4OH buffer) provided (R)—N—((S)-1-(4-(1-ethoxyvinyl)-2-fluorophenyl)ethyl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (498 mg, 1.59 mmol, 102% yield) as a brown viscous oil which crystallizes upon standing. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCL3) δ 1.20 (s, 9H) 1.43 (t, J=6.97 Hz, 3H) 1.58 (d, J=6.75 Hz, 3H) 3.35 (d, J=4.74 Hz, 1H) 3.92 (q, J=6.96 Hz, 2H) 4.23 (d, J=2.79 Hz, 1H) 4.65 (d, J=2.79 Hz, 1H) 4.79-4.89 (m, 1H) 7.16-7.20 (m, 1H) 7.29-7.34 (m, 1H) 7.39 (dd, J=8.07, 1.66 Hz, 1H).
