PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF EZETIMIBE AND INTERMEDIATES USEFUL THEREFORE

摘要

The present invention discloses novel and useful intermediates for the synthesis of ezetimibe (EZT), which intermediates share a characteristic Z -isomeric structure. Based on Z -5-(4-fluorophenyl)-pent-4-enoic acid, and proceeding the synthesis through further Z- intermediates, a total synthesis is presented to obtained final ezetimibe in high yields.
