Reaction Steps

A mixture of trans-N-cyanomethyl-2-(4-methylsulfanylbenzenesulfonylmethyl)-cyclohexanecarboxamide (0.1 g, 0.298 mmol), phenethyl mercaptan (0.103 mL, 0.764 mmol) and cesium carbonate (0.25 g, 0.764 mmol) was dissolved in dimethylformamide (1.5 mL) and heated at 100° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (30 mL), filtered through Celite, evaporated to dryness, and purified on a short plug of silica gel (2040% ethyl acetate/CHCl3), yielding the desired product. NMR (DMSO-d6): 1.1 (3H, m); 1.3 (1H, m) 1.6-1.7 (3H, m); 2.03 (2H, m); 2.16 (1H, d): 2.92 (3H, m); 3.15 (1H, dd); 3.36 (2H, m); 4.03 (2H, d); 7.1 (1H, d); 7.25 (4H, m); 7.47 (2H, d); 7.68 (2H, d); 8.56 (1H, t). MS [ESI, (M+Na)+] m/z=479 amu.
