Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S,E)-N-(2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzylidene)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (single enantiomer) (150 mg, 0.51 mmol, Step-1) in dichloromethane (5 mL) is added dropwise a solution of methylmagnesium bromide in THF (0.99 M, 2.57 mL, 2.54 mmol) at −78° C. The resulting mixture is stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours and at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction is quenched by saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (50 mL), and the aqueous phase is extracted with EtOAc (50 mL×2). The combined organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with n-hexane/EtOAc (3:1-1:1) to give 63 mg (40% yield) of the title compound as a white solid.
