Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[5-(tert-Butyldiphenylsilanyloxymethyl)-4-[(2R,6S)-2,6-dimethyl-morpholin-4-yl]-2,3-difluorophenyl]ethanone (Intermediate 9, 0.5 g, 0.92 mmol), sulfur powder (0.06 g, 1.8 mmol), potassium iodide (0.08 g, 0.4 mmol) and 25% aqueous ammonia solution (10 mL) in DMSO (10 mL) was heated in a sealed tube at 100° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and water was added. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, which was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (1:9 ethyl acetate:hexanes) to afford product as a yellow solid. Yield: 0.18 g (63%).
