An expeditious synthesis of the MDM2-p53 inhibitor AM-8553

J Am Chem Soc. 2012 Aug 1;134(30):12855-60. doi: 10.1021/ja305123v. Epub 2012 Jul 16.

Abstract

The development of the structurally complex MDM2/p53 inhibitor AM-8553 was impeded by the low yield of the initial synthesis. A second generation synthesis is described that features a Noyori dynamic kinetic resolution, a highly diastereoselective allylation, and a novel oxazoline-assisted piperidinone forming reaction to provide AM-8553 in 35.6% yield and 11 steps.
