Trifluoroacetamide → methyl 3-(furan-3-yl)-2-methoxy-6-{[S-phenyl-N-(trifluoroacetyl)sulphonimidoyl]methyl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 6-(benzenesulphinylmethyl)-3-(furan-3-yl)-2-methoxybenzoate (Intermediate 216, 0.920 g), trifluoroacetamide (0.56 g), magnesium oxide (0.40 g), iodobenzene diacetate (1.20 g) and rhodium (II) acetate dimer (0.030 g) in DCM (20 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 22 hours. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica eluting with ethyl acetate and cyclohexane with a gradient of 10-40% to give methyl 3-(furan-3-yl)-2-methoxy-6-{[S-phenyl-N-(trifluoroacetyl)sulphonimidoyl]methyl}benzoate (0.46 g) as a colourless gum.
