A Two-step Synthesis of the Anti-cancer Drug (R,S)-Bicalutamide

Abstract
A short, efficient synthesis of the non-steroidal antiandrogen (R,S)-bicalutamide is presented. This new route generates bicalutamide in only two steps with an overall yield of 73%. The key step is a 1,2 addition of a methyl sulfone to a keto-amide.
