Abstrakt: Two short and efficient synthesis routes have been developed for bis-THF-alcohol 2, a key building block of the investigational HIV protease inhibitor TMC114 (1). Using S-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceraldehyde (4) as the source of chirality, both routes are based on a diastereoselective Michael addition of nitromethane to give predominantly the syn congeners 6 followed by a Nef oxidation and cyclization to afford lactone acetals 8, which are reduced and cyclized to give 2.
