Method forming protease inhibitor synthetic intermediates

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of forming a 1,3-diamino-3-substituted-2-propanol chemical intermediate from which various chemicals, such as selected protease-inhibitors and other drugs, as well as polymers, can be synthesized. This method includes contacting a nitromethyl amino acid compound with at least one reducing agent to form the 1,3-diamino-3-substituted-2-propanol chemical intermediate.
