Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 4,4,4,4′,4′,4′-hexafluorovalinate (1.0 g, 4.18 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was stirred under N2 atmosphere at 25° C. Pyridine (0.81 mL, 10.04 mmol) was added dropwise followed by 4-bromo-5-chlorothiophene-2-sulfonyl chloride (1.486 g, 5.05 mmol) in one portion and the resulting solution stirred for 19 h at 25° C. After this time period, the reaction was complete by TLC (1:4 EtOAc-hexane). After quenching with water (1.0 mL), the mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (30 mL). The organic layer was washed sequentially with 1N aqueous HCl (10 mL), saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (10 mL) and brine (15 mL), then dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to obtain a crude oil (2.1 g). The crude product was purified by the Biotage Flash™ 40 chromatography system, eluent: 1:6 EtOAc-hexanes, to afford methyl N-[(4-bromo-5-chloro-thien-2-yl)sulfonyl]-4,4,4,4′,4′,4′-hexafluoro-dl-valinate as a white solid (1.62 g, 83.07%). Mass Spectrum (−ESI): 497 (M−H)−.
