A new synthesis of nelfinavir has been described: The protection of the amino group of the dioxolane derivative (I) with benzyl chloroformate and K2CO3 in toluene gives the carbamate (II), which is mesylated with MsCl and triethylamine in toluene yielding the mesylate (III). Reaction of compound (III) with thiophenol (IV) by means of tetrabutylammonium bromide and NaOH in toluene/water affords the thioether (V), which is treated with HCl in methanol/water to provide diol (VI). Protection of the primary OH group of (VI) with p-nitrobenzoyl chloride and 2-picoline yields the p-nitrobenzoate (VII), which is mesylated as before to afford the protected compound (VIII). The reaction of (VIII) with KOH in dioxane gives epoxide (IX), which is condensed with N-tert-butylperhydroisoquinoline-3-carboxamide (X) in refluxing methanol to yield the addition product (XI). This compound (XI) can also be obtained by direct condensation of compound (VIII) with isoquinoline (X) by means of K2CO3 in methanol/water. Removal of the benzyloxycarbonyl group of (XI) with KOH in hot isopropanol affords compound (XII), which is condensed with 3-acetoxy-2-methylbenzoyl chloride (XIII) by means of NaHCO3 in ethyl acetate to give the corresponding amide (XIV). Finally, this compound is deacetylated with ammonia in methanol.
