The asymmetric Henry reaction as synthetic tool for the preparation of the drugs linezolid and rivaroxaban
The human drugs – the antibiotic linezolid (1) and the anticoagulant rivaroxaban (2) – belong among modern pharmaceutics, which contain an oxazolidine-2-one moiety bearing a stereogenic center. The chirality of these drugs is a fundamental attribute for their biological activity. Herein, one of the...

description | The human drugs – the antibiotic linezolid (1) and the anticoagulant rivaroxaban (2) – belong among modern pharmaceutics, which contain an oxazolidine-2-one moiety bearing a stereogenic center. The chirality of these drugs is a fundamental attribute for their biological activity. Herein, one of the efficient asymmetric syntheses of these drugs was studied in detail. Highly enantioselective catalysts were tested in the key step of the synthetic procedure, i.e., the asymmetric Henry reaction, under different reaction conditions, using several starting aldehydes. The corresponding nitroaldols as chiral intermediates in the syntheses of these drugs were obtained in high yields and enantiomeric excesses of up to 91% ee. |
