Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-aminoethanol (310 mg, 5.08 mmol), triethylamine (514 mg, 5.08 mmol) and 2,3-dihydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide (200 mg, 1.693 mmol) in ethanol (3 mL) was heated up at 78° C. for 16 hours. TLC indicated the starting material was consumed and desired product was formed (30% methanol/ethyl acetate). The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with 0-35% methanol/ethyl acetate to provide the title compound as a colorless oil (260 mg, 86%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ 3.78-3.56 (m, 3H), 3.38-3.21 (m, 2H), 3.14-3.00 (m, 1H), 2.94 (dd, J=13.3, 6.0 Hz, 1H), 2.85-2.68 (m, 2H), 2.53-2.34 (m, 1H), 2.22-2.03 (m, 1H).
