Reaction Steps

To a two dram vial containing magnesium turnings (60 mg, 2.5 mmol) suspended in THF (3 mL) was added 2-bromocyclohexene (288 μL, 2.5 mmol) followed by 5-chlorothiophene-2-sulfonyl isoleucinal (1 mL of a 1 M THF solution, 1 mmol, example 118). The vial was capped and agitated at 50° C. for 18 h. The vial was cooled and sat. aqueous NH4Cl (1 mL) was added. The vial was vortexed and the organic layer was transferred into a tarred vial and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (1 mL). The combined organics were concentrated in vacuo and the residue was submitted to semipreparative RP-HPLC using the conditions below.
