Abstract: Described is a process of preparing 3-aryl, 4-aryloxy furan-5-ones which are useful as inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Such compounds are useful as anti-inflammatory agents. The process is directed to an asymmetric synthesis which involves: a trisubstituted styrene derivative preparation via Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction and subsequent one pot trifluoromethylation of the allylic alcohol; preparation of the .alpha.-hydroxyl ketone using Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and Swern oxidation; the esterification of the .alpha.-hydroxyl ketone with the phenoxy acetic acid; and the Dieckman condensation of the resulting ester.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods for the asymmetric synthesis of (S)-6-chloro-4-cyclopropylethynyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1- benzoxazin-2-one of formula (VI-i) ##STR1## which is useful as a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase inhibitor.

Abstract: An efficient method for the preparation of key intermediate, in the synthesis of (-)-6-chloro-4-cyclopropylethynyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-ben zoxazin-2-one, a reverse transcriptase inhibitor is achieved using a chiral addition reaction to the 4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylketoaniline with an organozinc complex to give the desired alcohol. This instant method has broad applicability in the chiral addition to any prochiral ketone.

Abstract: A process for enhancing the purity of 2R-?1-hydroxy-1-trifluoromethyl-3-cyclopropylpropyn-2-yl!-4-chloroaniline comprising the formation of an acid addition salt which is capable of rejecting the racemate in the selected organic solvent.
