Zhou, Zihong published the artcileDevelopment of a Quality Controllable and Scalable Process for the Preparation of 7,8-Difluoro-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-ol: A Key Intermediate for Baloxavir Marboxil, Category: catalysis-chemistry, the publication is Organic Process Research & Development (2019), 23(12), 2716-2723, database is CAplus.
A novel six-step synthesis of 7,8-difluoro-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-ol is described. Starting with 3,4-difloro-2-methylbenzoic acid and using di-Ph disulfide as an ideal sulfur source effectively solve the problems such as harsh reaction conditions, usage of smelly thiophenol, which might restrict the known process from pilot plant application. Large-scale applicability of this new route has been successfully demonstrated on kilogram-scale production to afford 7,8-difluoro-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-ol with 98.04% purity in 75% overall yield. Meanwhile, the corresponding impurity profile was thus studied in detail and well documented.
