Abstract: The invention is directed to novel bis-quarternary cinchona alkaloid salts and the use of bis-quarternary cinchona alkaloid salts in asymmetric phase transfer catalysis. The present invention is directed to novel bis-quarternary cinchona alkaloid salts and the use of bis-quarternary cinchona alkaloid salts in asymmetric phase transfer catalysis. On certain substrates and under specific reaction conditions, the inventors have discovered that the use of bis-quarternary cinchona alkaloid salts in asymmetric phase transfer catalysis surprisingly provides for a more active and efficient process as compared to mono-quarternary catalysts.

Abstract: The present invention relates to macrolactam compounds, intermediates useful in the preparation of macrolactams, methods for preparing the intermediates, and methods for preparing and modifying macrolactams. One use of the compounds and methods described herein is in the production of macrolactam compounds able to inhibit HCV NS3 protease activity. An example of an HCV inhibitory compound that can be synthesized using the procedures described herein is Compound A and derivative thereof.
