An improved process for the active pharmaceutical ingredient of a new HIV integrase inhibitor elvitegravir (1) has been developed. It starts from commercially available 2,4-dimethoxyacetophenone, which is selectively halogenated into the position 5. The 5-halo acetophenones are condensed with dialkyl carbonates to give the corresponding benzoylacetates. Their treatment with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal followed by (S)-valinol then provided the corresponding intermediate benzoyl acrylates. Cyclization to the required 1,4-dihydroquinolin-4-oxo derivatives by aromatic nucleophilic substitution of the 2-methoxy group was achieved by treatment with N, O-bis(trimethylsilyl)-acetamide, which also protected the OH group as the trimethylsilyl derivative. Finally, the Negishi coupling with 2-fluoro-3-chlorobenzylzinc bromide and the following hydrolysis provided elvitegravir (1). The preferred variant, the seven-step procedure starting from 2,4-dimethoxyacetophenone, provides elvitegravir in 29.3% yield.
