AI Technical Summary
Existing mono- or di-substituted indole compounds synthesized for combating flaviviruses like dengue virus lack chiral synthesis methods, necessitating separate enantiomer separation and industrial-scale processes.
A chiral synthesis process involving the reaction of a compound of formula (II) with 3-methoxy-5-methylsulfonyl-aniline followed by hydrogenation to produce compound of formula (I), optionally with chiral separation of intermediate compounds using phase transfer catalysts and specific hydrogenation catalysts and ligands.
Achieves stereoisomerically pure indole compounds with high enantiomeric excess, facilitating efficient industrial production of potent anti-dengue virus agents.
