Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-[4-((R)-2,2-Dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-ylmethoxy)-phenyl]-butyraldehyde (4.28 g, 15.4 mmol) in THF (150 ml) is added tert-butyl sulfinamide (2.05 g, 16.9 mmol) followed by titanium ethoxide (6.5 ml, 30.8 mmol). The yellow solution formed is stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution is quenched with 1 N NaOH (200 ml) and EtOAc (100 ml) and stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. The resultant mixture is filtered through Celite™ (filter material) and the organic phase is separated and dried (MgSO4). Concentration in vacuo gives 2-Methyl-propane-2-sulfinic acid [4-[4-((R)-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-ylmethoxy)-phenyl]-but-(E)-ylidene]-amide as a yellow oil; [M+H]+ 382.23
