Reaction Steps

N-{[4-({[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)phenyl](methyl)oxido--sulfanylidene}-5-({3-[(3-methyl-2-furoyl)amino]phenyl}-ethynyl)nicotinamide (0.722 g, 1.15 mmol) was dissolved in THF (2.3 mL). The resulting solution was treated with 1M solution of TBAF in THF (2.3 mL, 2.30 mmol) causing the mixture to turn black in color. The mixture was allowed to stir for 1 h, subsequently dissolved in EtOAc (10 mL) and extracted with H2O (3×15 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4(s), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified via column chromatography (gradient eluant mixture of EtOAc in Hexanes: 0% to 100% EtOAc) to afford the title compound in 94% yield (0.350 g, 0.682 mmol).
