Key words

telithromycin analogues - clarithromycin - ketolide antibiotics - Corey–Kim oxidation - reductive amination

Significance

The target telithromycin analogue was under development as an oral antibiotic for the treatment of respiratory infections. The route depicted delivered kilogram quantities of API starting with clarithromycin (A).

Comment

Note the use of a large-scale Corey–Kim oxidation for the synthesis of the ketolide E. An efficient large-scale synthesis of 3-hydroxy-1,5-naphthyridine-4-carbaldehyde (G) was developed using a Skraup reaction.
