Reaction Steps

Methyl magnesium chloride (3M in diethyl ether, 3.56 ml, 0.0107 moles) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of (R,E)-2-methyl-N-((1-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene)propane-2-sulfinamide (1.0 g, 0.035 moles) in dichloromethane (30 ml) at −70° C. under nitrogen. The mixture was allowed to warm to RT to give a cloudy solution and the solution was stirred overnight at RT under nitrogen. Ammonium chloride solution (saturated) was added slowly dropwise to quench the reaction. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 ml). The organic layer was separated and back-washed with brine (2×30 ml). The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated to give an oil. Yield 1.1 g. 1H NMR (300 MHz CDCl3) ratio 4.5:1 of diastereoisomers. The diastereoisomers were separated by silica gel chromatography using IPA/Heptane 20:80. The top diastereoisomer (100% de) was isolated. Yield 660 mg, 62%. 1H NMR (400 MHz CD30D) δ 7.48 (s, 1H) 4.79, 4.78, 4.76, 4.75, 4.73 (quin, 1H) 3.23, 3.21 (d, 1H) 1.58, 1.57 (d, 3H) 1.21 (s, 9H).
