Abstract

Efavirenz (Sustiva, DMP 266) is a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor of the HIV-1 virus developed by our company for the treatment of AIDS. This compound demonstrates superior antiretroviral activity and has been approved for use as an anti-HIV agent in the US Our enantioselective synthesis of Efavirenz1 employs cyclopropylacetylene (1), which is expensive and difficult to obtain. The existing preparations of 1 require either 5-chloro-1- ...
