A novel asymmetric synthesis of oseltamivir phosphate 1 from the naturally abundant (-)-shikimic acid via 3,4-cyclic sulfite intermediate 3 (Scheme 1) is described. Target compound 1 was obtained in 39% overall yield from this nine-step synthesis, and the characteristic step of the synthesis is the regio- and stereospecific nucleophilic substitution with sodium azide at the allylic (C-3) position of 3,4-cyclic sulfite 3. Since the yield of the direct-aziridine-formation from the unprotected dihydroxyl azide 4 was not satisfactory, two improved preparations of the established compound 7 via protected 3,4-cyclic sulfites 10 and 13 (Scheme 2) have been developed. In these two improved preparations, compound 7 was obtained from 3,4-cyclic sulfite 3 in 7-steps in 64% or 62% overall yield, respectively. Copyright
A novel asymmetric synthesis of oseltamivir phosphate (Tamiflu) from (-)-shikimic acid

experimental part, p. 124 - 129 (2009/05/30)
Oseltamivir phosphate 1 was synthesized starting from a readily available acetonide, that is, ethyl (3R,4S,5R)-3,4-O-isopropylidene shikimate 2, through a new route via 11 steps and in 44% overall yield. The synthesis described in this article is characterized by two particular steps: the highly regioselective and stereoselective facile nucleophilic replacement of an OMs by an N3 group at the C-3 position of ethyl (3R,4S,5R)-3,4-O-bismethanesulfonyl-5-O-benzoyl shikimate 5, and the mild ring-opening of an aziridine with 3-pentanol at the C-1 position of ethyl (1S,5R,6S)-7-acetyl-5-benzoyloxy-7-azabicyclo[4,1,0]hept-2-ene-3-carboxylate 8.
