Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-methyl-propane-2-sulfinic acid 1-(8-cyclopropylmethyl-1,4-dioxa-spiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)-methylideneamide (19, 1.00 g, 3.05 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran was cooled to −40° C. and was treated sequentially with tetramethylammonium fluoride (313 mg, 3.36 mmol, 1.1 eq.) and (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (587 μL, 3.97 mmol, 1.3 eq.). The mixture was stirred for 2 h at 0° C. before being quenched by addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give 960 mg of the title compound. Rt=1.63 min (Method B). Detected mass: 398.3 (M+H+).
