A concise and convergent synthesis of PA-824

J Org Chem. 2010 Nov 5;75(21):7479-82. doi: 10.1021/jo1015807.

Abstract

An efficient four-step synthesis of PA-824, a promising antituberculosis drug candidate, has been developed. This concise approach offers significant improvements over the synthetic route currently used for large-scale production.
