Reaction Steps

To a solution of N—[(R)-1-(5-bromo-2-fluoro-phenyl)-2-((R)-1-cyano-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methyl-ethoxy)-1-methyl-ethyl]-2-nitro-benzenesulfonamide (6.54 g, 11.8 mmol) and N-acetyl-cysteine (2.4 g, 26.0 mmol) in MeOH (80 ml) was added K2CO3 (3.62 g, 26.0 mmol) and the reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 16 h. After removal of the solvent the residue was dissolved in water and extracted with EtOAc. Combined extracts were washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to provide the title compound after chromatographic purification over silica gel (hexane-EtOAc 10:1 to 1:2 containing 0.03% NEt3) as a yellow oil: TLC (hexane-EtOAc 1:1): Rf=0.58; HPLC RtH5=0.843 min; ESIMS: 369, 371 [(M+H)+]; 1H NMR (360 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.66 (dd, 1H), 7.35 (m, 1H), 6.91 (dd, 1H), 3.97 (m, 2H), 1.53 (s, 3H), 1.49 (s, 3H).
