Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (0.75 g, 17 mmol) was suspended in N,N-dimethylformamide (15 mL) and a solution of 6-trifluoromethyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (3.6 g, 14 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (15 mL) was added with cooling at 5° C. After 1 h (S)-5-methyl-2,2-dioxo-[1,2,3]oxathiazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (4.0 g, 17 mmol) was added and the solution was allowed to reach room temperature over the weekend. The solution was partitioned between ice water (600 mL) and diethylether (2-×250 mL). The organic layer was washed with ice water and brine, dried (MgSO4), and evaporated. Chromatography on silica gel with n-hexane/diethylether (4:1) yielded the title product as yellow oil (5.1 g, 88%). ISP-MS: m/e=415.3 (M+H+), αD20=−29.6
