To a solution of trimethylsulfonium iodide (41.51 g, 203.9 mmol) in THF (335.3 mL)at -30 °C was added lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1M in heptane, 203.9 mL, 203.9mmol) portionwise over 45 mills. After stirring for 30 mins, 3,3,3-trifluoro-1,2- epoxypropane (14 g, 124.9 mmol) was added at -20 °C over 15 mill, and the mixture was allowed to warm to RT and stirred for 3 h and 10 mm. The slurry was then added portionwise to an ice-cold solution of <strong>[67442-07-3]2-chloro-N-methoxy-N-methylacetamide</strong> (28.05g, 203.9 mmol) in NMP (75.7 mL). The resulting mixture was allowed to warm to RT and stirred for 1 day before dilution with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with NaHCO3 (sat. aq. sol.) and the washings extracted with EtOAc. The organic layers were combined, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel; n-heptane/EtOAc 100/0 to 70/30) to yield 1-1 (13.8 g,49percent).
