To a cloudy solution of 4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde (5 g, 26.3 mmol) and (R)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (3.51 g, 28.9 mmol) in DCE (52 mL), under N2, was added copper (II) sulfate (6.30 g, 39.4 mmol), and the resulting mixture heated in a preheated oil bath at 55° C. for 22 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of celite, eluting with DCM. The filtrate was concentrated to afford a viscous yellow oil of (R,E)-2-methyl-N-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzylidene)propane-2-sulfinamide (7.9 g, 26.9 mmol, 102% yield). Material was taken onto next step without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.27 (s, 9H) 7.32 (d, J=8.07 Hz, 2H) 7.91 (d, J=8.75 Hz, 2H) 8.59 (s, 1H). LCMS m/z 294.1 (M+H)+, Rt 1.01 min.
