Reaction Steps

To a solution of (±)-N-(1-(5-benzyl-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)oxazol-4-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropyl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (340 mg, 0.738 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) was added 4 M HCl in dioxane (369 μL, 1.476 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. After quenched with saturated NaHCO3 solution and diluted with EtOAc, the reaction mixture was stirred for 15 min and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude (±)-1-(5-benzyl-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)oxazol-4-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropan-1-amine was obtained in 91% yield (240 mg), which was used for the next step without further purification (a major side product, methyl 2-methylpropane-2-sulfinate, was completely removed under high vacuum). LC/MS (uplc): MH+ 340.2 (—NH2), 0.91 min.
