Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound (2030 mg, 49%) was prepared from 5-bromo-2-(2-iodoethyl)pyridine (3571 mg, 11.5 mmol) and (+/−)-2-ethanesulfonyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (2270 mg, 12.6 mmol) by a procedure analogous to that described for the preparation of compound (1) from Preparation 2, Step 2, i.e. (+/−)-ethyl 4-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)butanoate.
