An efficient and concise asymmetric synthesis of pitavastatin calcium (1) starting from commercially available (S)-epichlorohydrin is described. A convergent C1 + C6 route allowed for the assembly of the pitavastatin C7 side chain via a Wittig reaction between phosphonium salt 2 and the enantiomerically pure C6-formyl side chain 3. The 1,3-syn-diol acetal motif in 3 was established with excellent stereo control by a diastereoselective bismuth-promoted two-component hemiacetal/oxa-Michael addition reaction of (S)-α,β-unsaturated ketone 4 with acetaldehyde.

A series of quinoline-based 3,5-dihydroxyheptenoic acid derivatives were synthesized from quinolinecarboxylic acid esters by homologation, aldol condensation with ethyl acetoacetate dianion, and reduction of 3-hydroxyketone to evaluate their ability to inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in vitro. In agreement with previous literature, a strict structural requirement exists on the external ring, and 4-fluorophenyl is the most active in this system. For the central ring, substitution on positions 6, 7, and 8 of the central quinoline nucleus moderately affected the potency, whereas the alkyl side chain on the 2-position had a more pronounced influence on activity. Among the derivatives, NK-104 (pitavastatin calcium), which has a cyclopropyl group as the alkyl side chain, showed the greatest potency. We found that further modulation and improvement in potency at inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase was obtained by having the optimal substituents flanking the desmethylmevalonic acid portion, that is, 4-fluorophenyl and cyclopropyl, instead of the usual isopropyl group.

First systematic chiral syntheses of two pairs of enantiomers with 3,5-dihydroxyheptenoic acid chain, associated with a potent synthetic statin NK-104 are reported. A pair of syn diol isomers (NK-104 and its enantiomer) was obtained efficiently by diastereomeric resolution. The synthesis of a pair of anti diol isomers (3-epimer and 5-epimer) was accomplished effectively by the asymmetric aldol reaction followed by anti stereoselective reduction as key steps. Their purity determinations were effected by chiral HPLC analysis.
