Abstract

Herein is reported the development and optimization of a 2nd-Generation process synthesis for the human immunodeficiency virus-1 entry inhibitor CJF-III-288 bis-trifluoroacetate salt 1. The key transformations of the synthesis include a decatungstate-catalyzed diastereoselective Giese addition to set the stereogenecity of the indoline core and install the guanidine motif, followed by a high-yielding photoredox-nickel dual-catalyzed Csp3–Csp2 cross coupling to append the methyl-amino methyl aryl side chain. The route eliminates the use of noble metals, decreases the step count nearly by half, reduces the number of flash column purifications, and increases the overall yield of 1 tenfold. The route has yielded 5.7 grams of 1 for use in in vivo studies.
