F. Benedetti et S. Norbedo, Epoxyalcohol route to hydroxyethylene dipeptide isosteres: a new synthesisof the diaminoalcohol core of HIV-protease inhibitor ABT-538 (Ritonavir), CHEM COMMUN, (2), 2001, pp. 203-204
A stereoselective synthesis of the diaminoalcohol core of Ritonavir illustr
ates a novel approach to hydroxyethylene dipeptide isosteres, based on the
regioselective reduction of amino acid-derived epoxyalcohols.
