We describe the development of a one-pot preparation process of (E)-3,5-dichloro-4-(3-ethoxy-2-methyl-3-oxoprop- 1-en-1-yl)benzoic acid (3), which is a key carboxylic acid intermediate of lusutrombopag. This one-pot reaction process is composed of lithiation of 3,5-dichlorobenzoic acid with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), formylation using N-formylmorpholine, followed by olefination employing the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction with triethyl 2-phosphonopropionate. This method enabled kilogram-scale manufacturing of carboxylic acid 3, a key intermediate of lusutrombopag with high purity, together with a reduced number of steps, improvement of yield, and avoidance of a cumbersome procedure for isolation of the intermediate.
