Organic Process Research & Development - Jersey 2007

Scientific Update’s recent ‘Organic Process Research & Development’ Conference in Jersey was full of excellent presentations. For the first time, some of these were videoed so that non-participants can view the lecture on the web. John Knight of Evotec spoke about a joint project with Achillion Pharmaceuticals involving the multi-kilo preparation of a thymidine analogue ACH-126443.

The key elements in the synthesis are shown below.
