Popis: A stereoselective nine-step synthesis of the potent HIV nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor (NRTTI) islatravir (EfdA, MK-8591) from 2-deoxyribose is described. Key findings include a diastereodivergent addition of an acetylide nucleophile to an enolizable ketone, a chemoselective ozonolysis of a terminal olefin and a biocatalytic glycosylation cascade that uses a unique strategy of byproduct precipitation to drive an otherwise-reversible transformation forward.
