A NOVEL PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF N-(4-NITRO-2-SULFAMOYL-PHENYL)-MALONAMIC ACID METHYL ESTER AND N-(4-AMINO-2-SULFAMOYL-PHENYL)-MALONAMIC ACID METHYL ESTER

摘要

The present invention provides a novel method for preparing compounds N-(4-nitro-2-sulfamoyl-phenyl)-malonamic acid methyl ester and N-(4-amino-2-sulfamoyl-phenyl)-malonamic acid methyl ester, which are novel intermediates for preparing a key intermediate N-(4-methanesulfonylamino-2-sulfamoyl-phenyl)-malonamic acid methyl ester, for the preparation of N-(3-{(1R,2S,7R,8S)-3-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-6-hydroxy-4-oxo-3-azatricyclo[6.2.1.02,7]undec-5-en-5-yl}-1,1-dioxo-1,4-dihydro-16,2,4-benzothiadiazin-7-yl)methanesulfonamide, also known commercially as Setrobuvir, a compound useful in treating hepatitis C.
