An efficient stereocontrolled synthesis of the Potent C-17.20-lyase inhibitor, (1S)-1-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-1-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)-2-methyl-1-propanol 1, has been established. The stereogenic center of 1 was successfully constructed by a highly diastereoselective Grignard reaction of 2, while a subsequent imidazole ring annulation afforded 1 in an enantiomerically pure form. The procedure enables a practical synthesis of 1 that can be conveniently carried out on a multigram scale. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
