Studies towards the synthesis of neuraminidase inhibitors and stereoselective synthesis of the C21-C34 subunit of aplyronines

Dinara Shashanka Gunasekera, Purdue University

Abstract

A short, enantioselective synthesis of tamiflu was achieved via Shibasaki's 3rd generation intermediate. A practical approach to isotamiflu and isotamiphosphor are described. A convenient approach to convert tamiflu to its more potent counterpart, tamiphosphor was achieved. The C28-C33 subunit of Aplyronine A, containing four stereocenters, was prepared using vinyl sulfone chemistry.
