(4aS,5S,7aS)-7a-(2,3-difluorophenyl)-5-(fluoromethyl)-4a,5,7,7a-tetrahydro-4H-furo[3,4-d][1,3]thiazin-2-amine (9.10 g, 0.03 mol, 1.0 equiv.) was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (36.4 mL), and the solution was cooled to 0° C. Sulfuric acid (conc., 12.0 mL) was added, followed by fuming nitric acid (6.9 mL) dropwise while maintaining the temperature below 5° C. After stirring at 0-5° C. for 4 h, the reaction mixture was slowly charged into a vigorously stirred solution of aq.NaOH (43.3 g in 273 mL water) while maintaining a temperature below 20° C. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (1×94 ml, and 2×64 mL), and the combined organic phases were washed with sat. aq. NaCl (46 mL). Celite (15.0 g) was added to the organics, and the mixture was filtered rinsing with CH2Cl2 (40 mL). The solvents were evaporated to afford the title compound (8.3 g) which was used in the subsequent step without purification. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO) δ ppm 8.41-8.30 (m, 1H), 8.22-8.13 (m, 1H), 6.36 (s, 2H), 4.70-4.46 (m, 2H), 4.43-4.31 (m, 1H), 4.35 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 3.69 (dd, J=8.5, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 3.04-2.91 (m, 2H), 2.86-2.76 (m, 1H); 13C NMR (125 MHz, DMSO) δ ppm 152.36 (dd, JCF=246.8, 12.3 Hz), 151.13, 150.32 (dd, JCF=238.2, 12.2 Hz), 143.25 (dd, JCF=7.9, 2.5 Hz), 134.70 (d, JCF=9.5 Hz), 121.28, 113.02 (d, JCF=22.3 Hz), 83.74 (d, JCF=170.1 Hz), 79.44 (d, JCF=18.3 Hz), 78.02 (d, J=3.9 Hz), 36.96, 23.28.
