Abstract
Abstract An improved and convenient synthetic route for the synthesis of peramivir has been developed with a total 34% yield. The process was improved from previous methods in three key reaction steps including 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, reductive ring cleavage of the isoxazoline, and incorporation of the peripheral guanidino group. First, an activated sodium hypochlorite (Cl% = 10%) was employed for the catalytic 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, and 61–68% yields were obtained. Second, the NaBH4-NiCl2 was used as a new reducing reagent instead of the expensive catalyst PtO2. Most important, an innovative and environmentally friendly method of guanylation in the final step was developed using chloroformamidine hydrochloride as the amidino reagent, which avoided the use of the highlytoxic reagent of HgCl2 and made the process greener.
