Abstract

An efficient four-step synthesis of the novel receptor antagonist (MK-0679) of leukotriene D4 (LTD4) will be described. The key steps are enzymatic hydrolysis of prochiral diester to the ester-acid in 98% enantiomeric excess followed by aluminum mediated amidation of the methyl ester which affords MK-0679 in high overall yield. © 1992, IUPAC
