(Chemical Equation Presented) A short-step synthesis of versatile chiral building blocks for triazole antifungal agents such as ZD0870 and Sch45450 was developed via catalytic enantioselective cyanosilylation of electron-deficient ketones as the key step.

A new synthetic route, the shortest reported to date, to access a key intermediate for the synthesis of various triazole antifungal agents was developed. The elusive tetrasubstituted stereogenic center that is essential in advanced triazole antifungal agents was constructed via the catalytic asymmetric cyanosilylation of a ketone. The subsequent transformations were performed in two one-pot operations, enhancing the overall synthetic efficiency toward the intermediate. This streamlined synthetic approach was successfully applied to efficient enantioselective syntheses of efinaconazole (Jublia) and ravuconazole.

A new seven-step sequence to access voriconazole, a clinically used antifungal agent, was developed. The initial catalytic asymmetric cyanosilylation is the key to constructing the consecutive tetra- and trisubstituted stereogenic centers. The fluoropyrimidine unit frequently triggered unexpected side reactions, but careful amendment of the reaction sequence allowed for the concise enantioselective synthesis.
