Popis: A practical synthesis of a highly functionalized tetrahydropyran DPP-4 inhibitor is described. The asymmetric synthesis relies on three back-to-back Ru-catalyzed reactions. A Ru-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) reduction establishes two contiguous stereogenic centers in one operation. A unique dihydropyran ring is efficiently constructed through a preferred Ru-catalyzed cycloisomerization. Hydroboration followed by a Ru-catalyzed oxidation affords the desired functionalized pyranone core scaffold. Finally, stereoselective reductive amination and subsequent acidic deprotection afford the desired, potent DPP-4 inhibitor in 25% overall yield.
