Practical synthesis, separation, and stereochemical assignment of the PMPA pro-drug GS-7340

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2001 Apr-Jul;20(4-7):621-8. doi: 10.1081/NCN-100002338.

Abstract

The practical synthesis of a mixed phenoxy-amidate derivative of PMPA with high oral bioavailability and favorable pharmacokinetics is described. The non-stereoselective synthetic route produces a 1:1 mixture of two diastereomers at phosphorous. Simulated moving bed chromatography using Chiralpak AS enabled kilo-scale isolation of the more potent diastereomer (GS-7340). The GS-7340 phosphorous chiral center was found to be (S) by X-ray crystallography.
