Efficient Short Step Synthesis of Corey's Tamiflu Intermediate
摘要:
Corey's tamiflu intermediate was synthesized from a bicyclolactam adduct obtained by base-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of N-nosyl-3-hydroxy-2-pyridone with ethyl acrylate. A compound that has the same array of functional groups with the Corey's intermediate was obtained in four steps from the DA adduct in 47% overall yield. The intermediate itself was also prepared efficiently by simply changing the protective group.
A very efficient two‐step synthesis was developed to prepare the keyintermediate in Corey's Tamiflu synthesis. DBU (1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec‐7‐ene) was used as a multifunctional catalyst for a series of reactions in a one pot procedure. The new synthesis was featured by the good availability of the starting material and the ease of the synthetic steps. This method might be practical for large
