Reaction Steps

To a yellow solution of 3-(1,1-dimethylethylsulfinamido)oxetane-3-carboximidamide (crude from above, assumed 0.494 mmol) in MeOH (2 ml) in a 50 ml sealed tube was added (E)-3-(dimethylamino)acrylaldehyde (0.090 g, 0.912 mmol), and the reaction mixture stirred for 10 min. Sodium methoxide (0.43 ml, 1.824 mmol, 25 wt % in MeOH) was added to the mixture, which was then stirred at 65° C. for overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water. The aqueous layer was back extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 ml). The combined organic layers was washed with saturated brine solution, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by pre-HPLC. Overall yield of two steps: (30 mg, 24%).
