3-(Trifluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde → HCID 89421013, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 50 ml round-bottomed flask, 3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde (400 mg, 2.1 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (12 ml) and (S)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (281 mg, 2.31 mmol) and anhydrous copper (II) sulfate (739 mg, 4.63 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight then filtered through a glass microfiber filter, rinsing with dichloromethane. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was chromatographed over silica gel with EtOAc/hexanes (gradient 0-20% EtOAc) to afford 430 mg (70%) of (S)-2-methyl-propane-2-sulfinic acid 1-(3-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-meth-(E)-ylideneamide as a light yellow oil.
