A novel approach for synthesizing the key dolutegravir intermediate is described via MgBr<sub>2</sub>-promoted intramolecular cyclization. Condensation of commercially available methyl oxalyl chloride and ethyl 3-(<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-dimethylamino)acrylate afforded the vinylogous amide in an excellent yield. Subsequent substitution by aminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal and methyl bromoacetate gave rise to the expected precursor for cyclization, which was promoted by MgBr<sub>2</sub> to highly selec ...[more]
