An efficient gram-scale synthesis of the antituberculosis agent pretomanid using straightforward chemistry, mild reaction conditions, and readily available starting materials is reported. Four different protecting groups on glycidol moiety were investigated for their technical feasibility ability to suppress side reactions. Starting from protected (R)-glycidols 2-bromo-4-nitro-1H-imidazole, could be prepared in a linear three-step up 40% isolated yield. In contrast most syntheses reported so...

A short and practical synthesis for preparing the active pharmaceutical ingredient dolutegravir sodium was developed. The convergent strategy starts from (R)-3-amino-1-butanol establishes BC ring system in a 76% isolated yield over four steps. Ring constructed by one-pot 1,4-addition to diethyl-(2E/Z)-2-(ethoxymethylidene)-3-oxobutandioate subsequent MgBr2·OEt2-mediated regioselective cyclization. Amide formation with 2,4-difluorobenzylamine either performed free carboxylic acid or through...

A two-step route to MK-4482 (EIDD-2801, 1 ) was developed consisting of an esterification and hydroxamination cytidine. The reactions can be conducted in either order with overall yields 67% (first step—esterification) 37% step—hydroxamination). Selective the nucleoside’s primary alcohol by enzymatic means eliminated need for diol protection/deprotection, direct transamination hydroxylamine precluded necessity activating nucleobase amine coupling. This results a significant advancement over...
