Significance
Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate) is a potent neuramidase inhibitor which is used for the treatment of the avian H5N1 virus. Key steps in the 17-step asymmetric synthesis depicted include (a) a catalytic asymmetric cleavage of meso-aziridine A with TMSN3 and (b) a Ni(0)-catalyzed conjugate addition of TMSCN to enone E.
