Trimethylsilyl cyanide → HCID 90402316, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Titanium (IV) ethoxide (3.03 g, 13.3 mmol) was added to a stirring solution of trimethylsilyl cyanide (7.12 mL, 53.1 mmol) and N-cyclobutylidene-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (4.6 g, 27 mmol) in DCM (100 mL) at rt. The reaction was allowed to stir for 16 h. An additional 1.7 mL of TMS-CN was added followed by 1.5 g of TiOEt4. The reaction was allowed to stir at rt for an additional 16 h. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with sat NaHCO3, and sat NaCl. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give N-(1-cyanocyclobutyl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (4.5 g, 22 mmol, 85% yield) consistent by NMR. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ 2.82-2.67 (m, 2H), 2.62-2.34 (m, 2H), 2.26-2.02 (m, 2H), 1.26 (s, 9H).
