An Efficient and Alternative Method for Synthesis of Tofacitinib
An effective synthetic process for the preparation of 3-Benzyl-6-methyl-7-oxa-3-aza-bicyclo[4.1.0]heptanes 7 and 3-Benzyl-6-methyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-7-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester 9 has been developed from simple synthetic transformations, starting with
extraordinarily simple materials (4-picoline and benzyl chloride) in five steps through reduction and epoxidation followed by ring opening,
providing a new and convenient access to the key intermediates of Tofacitibin (CP-690,550).The process developed is highly efficient and can be
applied for large scale synthesis also.
