Reaction Steps

To a −78° C. solution of diisopropylamine (0.77 mL, 5.50 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was n-butyllithium (2.5 M in hexane, 2.20 mL, 5.50 mmol) added, the mixture was stirred 0.5 h and then a solution of 3-fluoropyridine (0.47 mL, 5.50 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) was added and after another 0.5 h N-[(3-bromophenyl)(2-cyanophenyl)methylene]-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (Scheme #5, N) (1.95 g, 5.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added. After 1.5 h at −78° C. water was added, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in methanol (40 mL) and treated with hydrochloric acid (2 M in diethylether, 5 mL, 10.0 mmol) over night. After evaporation, the residue was partitioned between aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate and chloroform, the organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. Purification of the residue by column chromatography using a stepwise gradient of methanol in chloroform (0-10%) as the eluent gave the title compound (1.22 g, 64%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.43 (d, J=2.78 Hz, 1 H), 8.35 (d, J=5.05 Hz, 1 H), 7.76 (d, J=8.08 Hz, 1 H), 7.60-7.50 (m, 3 H), 7.45-7.37 (m, 2 H), 7.37-7.33 (m, 1 H), 7.20-7.13 (m, 2 H), 5.37 (br s, 2 H); MS (AP) m/z 382, 384 [M+1]+.
