Synthetic procedure: See article for the definitive version of this procedure and for full experimental details.
To a solution of 3k (0.1 mmol, 17.0 mg) in DMF (0.5 mL) were added ethyl thioglycolate (0.3 mmol, 33 uL) and K2CO3 (0.3 mmol, 41.5 mg). The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at 60 oC. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water and brine. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by preparative TLC to afford 4e (21.6 mg, 86% yield, 96% ee). The ee value was determined by SFC analysis on a Chiralcel OD-3 column (0% isopropanol, 2.0 mL/min) with retention time of 16.736 min (minor) and 22.323 min (major). 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.22 (s, 1H), 7.83 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.46 (t, J = 7.7 Hz, 1H), 7.41 (d, J = 7.3 Hz, 1H), 6.06 (dq, J = 46.9, 6.5 Hz, 1H), 4.42 (q, J = 7.1 Hz, 2H), 1.78 (dd, J = 23.7, 6.5 Hz, 3H), 1.43 (t, J = 7.1 Hz, 3H). 13C NMR (150 MHz, CDCl3): δ 162.70, 143.06, 137.98 (d, J = 19.6 Hz), 135.41 (d, J = 3.4 Hz), 134.40, 127.92 (d, J = 2.2 Hz), 126.75, 122.77 (d, J = 1.7 Hz), 121.21 (d, J = 8.2 Hz), 89.77 (d, J = 169.0 Hz), 61.73, 22.63 (d, J = 25.2 Hz), 14.35. 19F NMR (376 MHz, CDCl3): δ –169.23. HRMS (ESI-TOF): m/z calculated for C13H14FO2S+ [M+H]+ 253.0693, found 253.0693.
