(S)-tert-Butanesulfinamide (also known as 2-Methyl-2-propanesulfinamide) is used for the synthesis of 4-sulfonyliminopiperidine and its reaction with benzyl Grignard to form an important pharmaceutical building block, 4-benzyl-4-aminopiperidne.It can be also used to prepare spiro tosylaziridines via methylene insertion into the derived sulfonylimine1,2-(R)-(+)-2-Methyl-2-propanesulfinamide may be used to prepare N-(1-cyclohexylmethylidene)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide via copper mediated condensation with cyclohexane carboxaldehyde. It may also be used to prepare (20E)-N-[t-butyl-(R)-sulfinyl]-3β-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-pregn-5-en-20-imine, an intermediate for the development of androgen receptor antagonists. (S)-(-)-2-Methyl-2-propanesulfinamide may be used to develop benzofuran-based farnesyltransferase inhibitors as anti-cancer agents.
