摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel process for preparing pyrrole ester compounds, which are key intermediates in the preparation of farnesyl transferase inhibitors, an anti-cancer agent Horner-Emmons reaction of aldehyde compounds provides the corresponding &agr;,&bgr;-unsaturated esters, which without any separation and/or purification steps, are treated with toluenesutfonyl-methylisocyanate in the presence of base to give pyrrole esters in one-pot fashion.
摘要:
A process for preparing a 1-substituted 5-hydroxymethylimidazole of the formula: , wherein R represents alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, allyl, or substituted or unsubstituted arylmethyl or diarylmethyl, comprising the step of reacting a 1-substituted 2-mercapto-5-hydroxymethylimidazole of the formula: , wherein R is as defined above, in the presence of a transition metal catalyst and an oxidizing agent in a solvent.
