Na. Magnus et al., A new asymmetric 1,4-addition method: application to the synthesis of the HIV non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor DPC 961, TETRAHEDR L, 41(17), 2000, pp. 3015-3019
The asymmetric synthesis of the HIV non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase in
hibitor (NNRTI) DPC 961 is achieved in three steps with an overall yield of
>55%. The asymmetry is induced by the chiral auxiliary (R)-(+)-alpha-methy
lbenzylamine, utilizing a new asymmetric 1,4-addition protocol. (C) 2000 Du
