Reaction Steps

In a flask (R)-2-methyl-propane-2-sulfinic acid amide (4.00 g, 33.0 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (14.0 mL). Acetaldehyde (16.7 mL, 297 mmol), MgSO4 (11.9 g, 99.0 mmol) and pyridinium tosylate (415 mg, 1.65 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, filtered and concentrated to give 5.21 g of (R)-2-methyl-propane-2-sulfinic acid (E)-ethylideneamide as a yellow oil which was used without further purification.
