Reaction Steps

A solution of (R)-N-((Z)-2-(2,3-difluorophenyl)-4-(2,2-dimethylhydrazono)-1,5,5,5-tetrafluoropentan-2-yl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (9.0 g, 20.86 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was treated with hydrogen chloride, 2M aq. solution (10.43 mL, 20.86 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 26 h. LCMS detected formation of desired product and trace of starting material. The reaction was quenched with saturated NaHCO3 solution and then extracted with EtOAc (2×). The organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column (0-50% EtOAc/hexane) to afford 5.0 g of (R)-N-(2-(2,3-difluorophenyl)-1,5,5,5-tetrafluoro-4-oxopentan-2-yl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide as light yellow solid (91% purity). MS m/z=408.0 [M+H+H2O]+. Calculated for C15H17F6NO2S: 389.4
