The key macrocyclization step in the synthesis of simeprevir, a hepatitis C virus (HCV) antiviral drug, was studied. N-Boc substitution on the diene precursor changes the site of insertion of the metathesis catalyst and, consequently, the kinetic model of the ring closing metathesis (RCM), enabling a further increase in the macrocyclization efficiency under simulated high dilution (SHD) conditions. NMR of the inserted species of both first and second generation RCM catalysts are reported and discussed.
PROCESSES AND INTERMEDIATES FOR PREPARING A MACROCYCLIC PROTEASE INHIBITOR OF HCV

A process for preparing [(1R,2R)-4-oxo-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid II, by the resolution of racemic 4-oxo-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid (V), said process comprising: (a) reacting 4-oxo-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid (V) with brucine or (1R,2S)-(-)- ephedrine, thus preparing the bis-brucine or bis-(1R,2S)-(-)-ephedrine salt of (V), and (b) precipitating selectively the bis-brucine or bis-(1R,2S)-(-)-ephedrine salt of (1R,2R)-4-oxo-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid II, while the bis-brucine or bis- (1R,2S)-(-)-ephedrine salt of [(1S,2S)-4-oxo-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid stays in solution; (c) liberating the acid II by removal of brucine or (1R,2S)-(-)-ephedrine from the precipitated salt obtained in step (b).

Page/Page column 29; 30, (2009/06/27)
The present invention discloses compounds of formula I, II, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, or prodrugs thereof: which inhibit serine protease activity, particularly the activity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3-NS4A protease. Consequently, the compounds of the present invention interfere with the life cycle of the hepatitis C virus and are also useful as antiviral agents. More specifically, the invention relates to oxime compounds containing a carbocyclic P2 unit. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the aforementioned compounds for administration to a subject suffering from HCV infection. The invention also relates to methods of treating an HCV infection in a subject by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compounds of the present invention.
