Acetic Acid → (S)-ethyl 2-(5-bromo-2-(methoxymethoxy)phenyl)-2-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-6-morpholinopyridin-4-yl)-2-((S)-1,1-dimethylethylsulfinamido)acetate

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (1.897 mL, 11.24 mmol) in THF (45 mL) was cooled to −78° C. and treated with n-BuLi (1.6M in hexanes) (6.77 mL, 10.83 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere. The solution was warmed to 0° C. and stirred at that temperature for 25 minutes. The solution was cooled back down to −78° C. and treated with a solution of 4-(5-chloro-6-fluoropyridin-2-yl)morpholine (2.165 g, 9.99 mmol) in THF (11.25 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere. The solution was allowed to stir at that temperature for 40 minutes and then added drop wise via cannula to a solution of (S)-ethyl 2-(5-bromo-2-(methoxymethoxy)phenyl)-2-(tert-butylsulfinylimino)acetate (3.5 g, 8.33 mmol) in THF (11.25 mL) also cooled to −78° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at −78° C. for additional 2 hours and then quenched with acetic acid (0.715 mL, 12.49 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to RT overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography (10-60% EtOAc/hexane) to afford 3.56 g (S)-ethyl 2-(5-bromo-2-(methoxymethoxy)phenyl)-2-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-6-morpholinopyridin-4-yl)-2-((S)-1,1-dimethylethylsulfinamido)acetate.
