Journal ArticleDOI

A highly efficient synthesis of telaprevir by strategic use of biocatalysis and multicomponent reactions

TL;DR: A very short and efficient synthesis of the important drug candidate telaprevir, featuring a biocatalytic desymmetrization and two multicomponent reactions as the key steps, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

The efficient one-pot reaction of up to eight components by the union of multicomponent reactions.

TL;DR: A novel approach is reported that combines two or more MCRs in one pot to achieve higher-order M CRs with unprecedented possibilities for complexity generation and diversification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of 4-aminophthalazin-1(2H)-ones by isocyanide insertion.

TL;DR: Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of a wide range of substituted o-(pseudo)halobenzoates and hydrazines with isocyanide insertion followed by lactamization efficiently affords 4-aminophthalazin-1(2H)-ones that are difficult to obtain regioselectively by classical methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of 4-aminoquinazolines by palladium-catalyzed intramolecular imidoylation of N-(2-bromoaryl)amidines.

TL;DR: Various substituents are tolerated on the amidine and the isocyanide, providing efficient access to a broad range of diversely substituted 4-aminoquinazolines of significant pharmaceutical interest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric synthesis of synthetic alkaloids by a tandem biocatalysis/Ugi/Pictet–Spengler-type cyclization sequence

TL;DR: This article combined the biocatalytic desymmetrization of 3,4cis-substituted meso-pyrrolidines with an Ugi-type multicomponent reaction followed in situ by a Pictet-Spengler-type cyclization reaction sequence for the rapid asymmetric synthesis of alkaloid-like polycyclic compounds.
