Abstract

Column chromatography-free stereoselective synthesis of Corey's intermediate for Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate) was achieved, starting from l-glutamic acid γ-ethyl ester. The reagents and solvents used in the reaction scheme are industrially tractable, rendering the synthesis a potential starting point for process research.
