Abstract

This paper describes a remarkably efficient process for the preparation of γ-secretase inhibitor 1. The target is synthesized in only five steps with an overall yield of 58%. The key operation is a highly selective and practical, crystallization-driven transformation for the conversion of a mixture of tertiary benzylic alcohols into the desired sulfide diastereomer with 94: 6 dr. This unprecedented process is based upon a reversible carbon-sulfur bond ...
