Reaction Steps

6-Bromo-2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)chroman-4-one (Intermediate 27, 1.5 g, 4.82 mmol) and 2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (1.052 g, 8.68 mmol) were dissolved in dry 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran (12 mL). Neat titanium ethoxide (1.788 mL, 8.68 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was heated by MW at 130° C. for 60 min. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (150 mL) and water (40 mL) was added dropwise during vigorous stirring of the reaction mixture. The stirring was continued for 15 min. The solid was decanted and the mixture filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth. The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4 and vacuum filtered directly through a pad of silica (approx. 10 g) and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (1.8 g, 90% yield). MS (ES+) m/z 414 [M+H]+.
