Abstract

A convenient and efficient total synthesis of ezetimibe, an intestinal cholesterol absorption inhibitor and useful anticholesteremic agent, is described. Based on (Z)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)pent-4-enoic acid as a starting compound, and taking the synthesis through further Z-configured intermediates, the total yield is remarkably increased, compared with the use of the corresponding E-configured starting substances or intermediates.

Key words

cholesterol absorption inhibitor - (Z)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)pent-4-enoic acid - Wittig reaction - azetidinone - asymmetric synthesis
