This invention relates to new process for preparing certain optically active purine substituted cyclopentene derivatives and novel intermediates used in this process. In particular, the invention concerns the synthesis of the 1R-cis isomer of carbovir, (1R-cis)-amino-1,9-dihydro-9-[4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclopenten-1-yl]-6H-pur in-6-one, an antiviral agent, and certain intermediates.
A new oxidative system of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)/azodiisobutyronitrile (AIBN) has been used for the first time for a convenient, metal-free synthesis of substituted 2-aminothioazoles from active methylene ketone derivatives and thiourea. The reaction is postulated to proceed via an oxidative cyclization initiated by a radical process and followed by a condensation reaction.
