Reaction Steps

1-Bromo-3-(trifluoromethylthio)-prop-2-ene (1.05 g, Example B) is added to a mixture of 1A (1.08 g), sodium hydride (60% in oil, 0.18 g) and N-methylpyrrolidone (20 ml) and DMF (1 ml). The reaction mixture is stirred for 6 hours at 120° C. The remaining sodium hydride is deactivated and the resulting mixture is diluted with pentane/ethyl acetate (by volume ration 1/1) and filtered through a bed of silica gel. The filtrate is washed with water. The organic layer is dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography (silica gel: pentane/ethyl acetate 10/1 v/v) yields 0.3 g of the title compound.
