Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl) 3-methyl 3,4-thiomorpholinedicarboxylate 1,1-dioxide (D15; 1.73 g, 5.9 mmol) in 17 ml of anhydrous methylene chloride, trifluoroacetic acid (4.2 ml) was added dropwise while stirring at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. The solution was stirred for 3 h, while allowing it to reach room temperature. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was loaded on a SCX cartridge, washed with methanol and eluted with 0.5M methanolic ammonia. The basic fractions were collected and the solvent removed leaving 1.08 g of the target product.
