Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S,E)-N-((1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methylene)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (1.69 g, 5.45 mmol) in DCM (27 mL), cooled to −40° C. (acetone/dry ice) under N2, was added 3M MeMgBr (7.27 ml, 21.8 mmol) in diethyl ether. Reaction mixture allowed to stir for 1 hr at −40° C. Reaction mixture was quenched with the slow addition of a saturated solution of NH4Cl and diluted with EtOAc. Phases partitioned, aqueous phase extracted with EtOAc and the organic layers combined washed with water, brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated onto silica gel. Silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/MeOH:EtOAc 0 to 5%) provided (S)—N—((S)-1-(1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethyl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (1.11 g, 3.41 mmol, 62% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCL3) δ 1.25 (s, 9H) 1.58 (d, J=6.65 Hz, 3H) 3.80 (d, J=5.48 Hz, 1H) 4.59 (quin, J=6.36 Hz, 1H) 7.26 (s, 1H) 7.33 (d, J=8.61 Hz, 2H) 7.41-7.47 (m, 2H) 7.76 (d, J=1.17 Hz, 1H). LCMS m/z 326.1 (M+H)+, Rt 0.59 min.
