Abstract
Herein we report an efficient method for the synthesis of a highly functionalized 2-pyrrolidinone, tert-butyl 3-cyano-3-cyclopropyl-2-oxopyrrolidine-4-carboxylate, from readily available starting materials. Utility of this compound was demonstrated in the synthesis of a novel series of macrocyclic Tyk2 inhibitors, leading to the identification of a potent and selective macrocyclic Tyk2 inhibitor (26).
