A convergent, multikilogram, stereoselective synthesis of 1 is described. A key fragment, (S)-3-(4-fluorobenzyl)piperidine (2) was synthesized from valerolactam in three steps using our recently discovered Ir-BDPP-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation. Another key fragment, (IR,2R)-2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde (3) was synthesized from meso-hexahydrophthalic anhydride in seven steps. The stereochemistry was set in the first step of this sequence via a quinidine-mediated desymmetrization of the meso-anhydride. Coupling of the fragments 2 and 3 followed by deprotection provided the penultimate 23. The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) free base I was obtained by treatment of 23 with the aminothiazole fragment 4 under mild conditions.
