Abstract

Two synthetic approaches to the achiral quinoline fragment of simeprevir are described. Both approaches are based on the synthesis of methyl 4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-8-methylquinoline-2-carboxylate, protection of its 4-hydroxyl group, and construction of the thiazole ring from the ester group at the 2-position. The last step is acid deprotection of the 4-hydroxyl protecting group.
