Isotope labeled ‘HEA Moiety’ in the synthesis of labeled HIV‐protease inhibitors – Part 1

Abstract

Abstract[(S)‐1′‐((N‐tert‐Butyloxycarbonyl)amino)‐2S‐[2H5]phenyl‐ethyl]oxirane 11, made from [2H5]‐bromobenzene, was transformed into the HIV‐protease inhibitors [2H5]‐DPH 153893 and [2H5]‐DPH 140662. Both compounds are members of the hydroxyethylamine class of protease inhibitors (HIV‐PIs). The method of synthesis is applicable to members of this class and the HEE group of HIV‐PIs.
