Development of practical syntheses of potent non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
摘要:
The development of practical and efficient syntheses of the potent non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors I and 2 is described. The preparation of I proceeded in four synthetic steps and in 48% overall yield from 3. The long-term synthesis of 2 proceeded in nine synthetic steps and in 47% overall yield from commercially available 2,6-diflurorpyridine. The route to 2 was highlighted by the three-step synthesis of intermediate 22 and the high yielding coupling between 18 and phenol 8. The overall sequence required no chromatography and has successfully been utilized for the manufacture of 2 on large scale. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Development of a Safe and Practical N-Oxidation Procedure Using m-CPBA in Acetic Acid
摘要:
A safe and practical procedure for the N-oxidation of pyrazolopyridine 4 using meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA) in acetic acid is described. Key safety experiments are outlined which have led to the development and implementation of this reaction on 28-kg scale in 98% isolated yield.
