Bedaquiline (BDQ) is the most critical pharmaceutical in the world for treating multidrug-resistant <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>. Despite it being highly effective, BDQ asymmetric synthesis remains a challenge. Herein, the influence of chiral bases, namely, bis(1-phenylethyl)amine, bisoxazoline, and sparteine on the diastereoselective lithiation reaction to obtain BDQ was investigated. The highest diastereoselective ratio (dr) emerged as 90:10 from the (+)-bis[(<i>R</i>)-1-phenylethyl] lith ...[more]
