| abstract |
The invention features methods and compositions for the synthesis of multimerizing agents. An exemplary method for producing AP20187 may comprise: (a) coupling 2-N,Ndimethylaminomethyl-1,3-diaminopropane with AP20792 to produce the dimeric alcohol, AP20793; and (b) coupling the AP20793 so produced with API7362 to yield AP20187. In particular embodiments, the method further includes the step of producing API7362 by coupling API7360 with methyl-L-pipecolic acid, or a salt thereof. |
