Participants

Reaction Steps

pyridine (10 mL) was added to a 0° C. solution of ethyl 2-(4-chloro-benzenesulfonylamino)-4-methyl-4-pentenoate (1.0 g, 3.0 mmol) in THF (15 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to rt. After 5 h, an additional portion (10 mL) of hydrogen fluoride.pyridine was added. The mixture was stirred for 24 h, then a third portion of hydrogen fluoride.pyridine (10 mL) was added. After a total of 53 h, the reaction was quenched with ice chips (20 mL). The crude mixture was poured into ice water (500 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×200 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 (100 mL) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude concentrate was purified using silica gel column chromatography (10:1 to 5:1 gradient, hexanes/EtOAc) to afford 0.395 g (37% yield) of ethyl 2-(4-chlorobenzenesulfonylamino)-4-fluoro-4-methyl-pentanoate and 0.425 g (46% yield) of 4-chloro-N-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-tetrahydro-furan-3-yl)-benzenesulfonamide.
