A Continuous Flow Sulfuryl Chloride-Based Reaction—Synthesis of a Key Intermediate in a New Route toward Emtricitabine and Lamivudine
Contributor(s):: Souza, Juliana M. de, Berton, Mateo, Snead, David R., McQuade, D. Tyler
We demonstrate a continuous two-step sequence in which sulfenyl chloride is formed, trapped by vinyl acetate, and chlorinated further via a Pummerer rearrangement. These reactions produce a key intermediate in our new approach to the oxathiolane core used to prepare the antiretroviral medicines...
Semi-continuous multi-step synthesis of lamivudine

We report the first continuous flow synthesis of lamivudine, an antiretroviral drug used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B. The key intermediate (5-acetoxy oxathiolane) was prepared by an integrated two step continuous flow process from L-menthyl glyoxalate hydrate in a single solvent,...
