A Concise Flow Synthesis of Efavirenz

Abstract: Efavirenz is an essential medicine for the treatment of HIV, which is still inaccessible to millions of people worldwide. A novel, semi-continuous process provides rac-Efavirenz with an overall yield of 45%. This streamlined proof-of-principle synthesis relies on the efficient copper-catalyzed formation of an aryl isocyanate and a subsequent intramolecular cyclization to install the carbamate core of Efavirenz in one step. The three-step method represents the shortest synthesis of this life-saving drug to date. Show more

“…For the cases where outputs are low and the reactor is to be operated as and when demand arises, every start-up time and shut-down time play a critical role in deciding the effective profit from that operation. This issue can be very important in case of pharmaceuticals and nanomaterials where production capacities are low and material costs are very high [25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”
