Abstract
Previously our group reported synthetic efforts used to synthesize kilogram quantities of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor torcetrapib, 1, via a mid-stage resolution. This account describes research conducted to develop an asymmetric route to this clinical candidate suitable for long-term manufacturing. The first asymmetric center is established via coupling of (R)-3-aminopentanenitrile to a trifluoromethylarene. After elaboration of the nitrile to a suitable precursor, a key step in the synthesis is diastereoselective cyclization of immonium ion 7 to provide the tetrahydroquinoline core. This approach also permitted a streamlined sequence to complete the synthesis of 1. Development of the process and synthetic rationale are described.
