摘要:
The present invention discloses high yielding enantioselective process for synthesis of Oseltamivir from readily available starting material, cis-1,4-butene diol. The process features incorporation of chirality using sharpless asymmetric epoxidation (AE) and diastereoselective Barbier allylation and construction of cyclohexene carboxylic acid ester core through a ring closing metathesis (RCM) reaction. Further also disclosed herein is synthesis of (−)-methyl 3-epi-shikimate.
