A practical synthesis of (3R,3aS,6aR)-hexahydrofuro[2,3-b]furan-3-ol—a key intermediate in the synthesis of darunavir—from monopotassium isocitrate is described. The isocitric acid salt, obtained from a high-yielding fermentation fed by sunflower oil, was converted in several steps to a tertiary amide. This amide, along with the compound’s ester functionalities, was reduced with lithium aluminum hydride to give, on acidic workup, a transient aminal-triol. This was converted in situ to the title compound, the bicyclic acetal furofuranol side chain of darunavir, a protease inhibitor used in treatment of HIV/AIDS. Key to the success of this process was identifying an optimal amide that allowed for complete reaction and successful product isolation. N-Methyl aniline amide was identified as the most suitable substrate for the reduction and the subsequent cyclization to the desired product. Thus, the side chain is produced in 55% overall yield from monopotassium isocitrate.

Upon completion of the reduction after 4 hours, the reaction was quenched with a saturated aqueous sodium sulfate solution at 0°C. The solvent then was decanted and the remaining residue was washed with THF (3x) , EtOAc (3x) , and CHC13 (3x) .
