Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1S,4S)-2-thia-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane 2,2-dioxide, hydrobromide (0.5 g, 2.192 mmol) in DMF (25 mL) was added potassium carbonate (0.397 mL, 6.58 mmol) followed by 1-bromo-2-chloroethane (0.927 mL, 10.96 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt. After 30 h, the reaction mixture was poured into water (20 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to viscous light brown oil. The crude material was loaded onto a silica gel column, eluted with 1:2 hex:EtOAc to give (1S,4S)-5-(2-chloroethyl)-2-thia-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane 2,2-dioxide (150 mg, 32.6% yield) of a clear glass material. LC/MS: m/e 210.0 (M+H)+, 0.240 min (method 3).
