Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled solution of (R)-N-((S)-2-(2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutan-2-yl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (5.8 g, 18.14 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (80 mL) at −78° C. was added trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane (26.8 mL, 181 mmol). After stirred for 20 min, tetrabutylammonium fluoride, 1.0M solution in THF (27.2 mL, 27.2 mmol) was added dropwise. After 3 h, the reaction was quenched with 1N HCl (30 ml), and then the cooling bath was removed. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (60 mL) and EtOAc (60 mL), and warmed to ambient temperature. The solution was extracted with EtOAc twice. The organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with MTBE (15 mL). The resulted solid was filtered and washed with DCM. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and purified by silica gel column (240 g, 0-100% EtOA/hexane in 25 min) to afford additional product. The solids were combined to give (R)-N-((2S,4S)-2-(2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-5,5,5-trifluoro-4-hydroxypentan-2-yl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (1.75 g, 25% yield). MS m/z=390 [M+H]+. Calculated for C15H20ClF4NO2S: 389.8.
