Short Chemoenzymatic Azide‐Free Synthesis of Oseltamivir (Tamiflu): Approaching the Potential for Process Efficiency

A short chemoenzymatic and azide-free synthesis of oseltamivir was attained with the key steps consisting of a one-pot Dauben-Michno oxidative transposition and amination and a reductive transposition of an acrylate.
