Abstract

A practical synthesis of 5‐(chloromethyl)furo[2,3‐b]pyridine (10), the side chain used to incorporate a key pharmacophore of the HIV protease inhibitor, L‐754,394, is described. The synthesis was accomplished in ten steps and in 15% overall yield from commercially available methyl 2‐furoate.
