ABSTRACT
Herein, we describe a new seven-step approach to prepare (S)-1-(3,6-dibromopyridin-2-yl)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)ethan-1-amine ((S)-4) from the inexpensive 2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)acetic acid. The key steps in sequence include (1) Weinreb amide-based ketone synthesis provide an entry point core structure; (2) simple functional group transformations afford racemic amine 4-rac; and (3) dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) access chiral (S)-4. This process delivered enantiopure (S)-4 overall isolated yield of approximately 15%. was demonstrated on decagram scale, requires no chromatographic purifications. Single-crystal X-ray crystallography measurements verified structure absolute configuration.
