An improved synthesis of 1,1-dimethylethyl 6-cyanomethyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4-acetate, a key intermediate for the synthesis of an effective HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor atorvastatin, is described. The synthesis is based on the iodolactonization of hepta-1,6-dien-4-ol to 4-allyl-6-iodomethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one, which was converted in several steps to (6-allyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-yl)-acetonitrile. This intermediate provided (6-cyanomethyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-yl)acetic acid either via the corresponding aldehyde or via (2,2-dimethyl-6-oxiranylmethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-yl)acetonitrile.

An improved process for the preparation of trans-6-[2-(substituted-pyrrol-1-yl)alkyl]pyran-2-ones by a novel synthesis is described where 1,6-heptadien-4-ol is converted in eight operations to the desired products, as well as an improved process for the preparation of (2R-trans) and trans-(±)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(1-methylethyl)-N-4-diphenyl-1-[2-tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl)ethyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide by a novel synthesis where 4-methyl-3-oxo-N-phenylpentanamide is converted in eight operations to the desired product or alternatively 4-fluoro-α-[2-methyl-1-oxopropyl]-γ-oxo-N,β-diphenylbenzenebutaneamide is converted in one step to the desired product, and additionally, a process for preparing (2R-trans)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(1-methylethyl)-N,4-diphenyl-1-[2-(tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl)ethyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide from (R)-4-cyano-3-[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]butanoic acid, as well as other valuable intermediates used in the processes.
