摘要:
Racemic or optically pure N-(4-cyano-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-(4 -fluorophenylsulphonyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionamide of formula (I) is prepared by the following process: 2,3-dihydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid of formula (VII) is reacted with thionyl chloride to form 4-chlorocarbonyl-4-methyl-1,3,2-dioxathiolane-2-one of formula (VI), which is reacted with 4-cyano-3-trifluoromethylaniline. The resulting 4-{[4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl)anilino]carbonyl}-4-methyl-1,3,2-dioxathiolane-2-one of formula (V) is hydrolysed to form N-[4-cyano-3-(trilfuoromethyl)phenyl]-2,3-dihydroxy-2-methylpropionamide of formula (IV), which is sulfonylated with a sulfonyl halogenide of formula R-SO2-X, in a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of a tertiary amine base. The sulphonic ester derivative of formula (III) obtained is reacted with 4-fluorothiophenol in the presence of a base to give a thioether of formula (II) which is oxidized using an inorganic peroxy compound or aqueous hydrogen peroxide.
