Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 2-formylthiazole-5-carboxylate (15.7 g, 74 mmol) and (S)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (10.7 g, 88 mmol) in DCM (750 mL) at 0° C. was added cesium carbonate (48.2 g, 148 mmol). The mixture was warmed to rt and stirred for 8 h. To the solution was added water (200 mL). After separation, the aqueous phase was extracted with DCM (3×200 mL). The combined organic phases were dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. Flash column chromatography (petroleum ether: EtOAc, 100:1 to 10:1) afforded (S,E)-tert-butyl 2-((tert-butylsulfinylimino)methyl)thiazole-5-carboxylate (18.9 g, 81%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.67 (s, 1H), 8.39 (s, 1H), 1.52 (s, 9H), 1.22 (s, 9H).
