摘要
An effective stereocontrolled synthesis of the HIV protease inhibitor Nelfinavir is reported. Two transformations were identified crucial for achieving success: the formation of a densely functionalized alpha-chloroketone via the homologation of a Weinreb amide with chloromethyllithium (LiCH2Cl), followed by its erythro selective reduction into the corresponding chiral chlorohydrin. A commercially available enzyme P2-CO2 was particularly well suited for this purpose, affording the key alcohol (in an excellent 99% de), which was then smoothly converted into the active biologically active agent.
