Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-methyl-5-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)picolinaldehyde (1.6 g, 7.3 mmol, Step-5), (R)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (1.33 g, 11.0 mmol), and titanium tetraethoxide (2.50 g, 11.0 mmol) in THF (30 mL) is refluxed with stirring for 2 hours. After cooling to 0° C., water (30 mL) and EtOAc (80 mL) are added to the mixture, and this is filtered through a pad of Celite. The filtrate is washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica-gel eluting with n-hexane/EtOAc (4:1-2:1) to give 1.14 g (48% yield) of the title compound as a pale yellow solid.
