Abstract
The total synthesis of an oral small-molecule antiviral agent; a structure based developmental drug simnotrelvir has been accomplished. The synthesis involves readily accessible commercial amino acids L-tert-leucine, 4-hydroxy-l-proline and l-glutamic acid that are easily converted to the key intermediates and are coupled together following classical peptide coupling technique using HATU and NMM. One of the crucial step in the synthesis involved a one pot Boc-deprotection and trifluoroacetylation of tert-leucine amino acid moiety mediated by ZnCl2.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
