Reaction Steps

(4-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)naphthalen-1-yl)diphenylsulfonium iodide (5 g, 9.76 mmol) and triethylammonium 1,1-difluoro-2-(methacryloyloxy)ethanesulfonate (3.40 g, 10.2 mmol) are dissolved in DCM (200 mL) and water (200 mL) and stirred at 25° C. overnight. The layers are separated, the organic layer washed with water (10×150 mL), and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound as a white solid.
