摘要:
Synthetic studies of Tamiflu (R) and the identification of a ruthenium-catalyzed dihydroxylation route are disclosed. This newly developed synthetic process circumvents the need for a Mitsunobu inversion step and the use of explosive reagents. This route, therefore, compares favorably to the previously developed synthetic process. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved,
