Toward the Synthesis of Fluorinated Analogues of HCV NS3/4A Serine Protease Inhibitors Using Methyl α-Amino-β-fluoro-β-vinylcyclopropanecarboxylate as Key Intermediate
Résumé
Synthesis of fluorocyclopropyl building blocks, which constitute the core of various therapeutic agents against the hepatitis C virus, is described. The relevant methyl α-amino-β-fluoro-β-vinylcyclopropanecarboxylate has been used as a key intermediate for the total synthesis of a fluorinated analogue of Simeprevir (TMC 435), a HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor.
