Abstract

A commercial process for vepdegestrant (1), the most advanced PROTAC protein degrader in human clinical trials, has been developed to support clinical and commercial needs. The process features an efficient convergent synthetic strategy through the final reductive amination of two advanced chiral intermediates, as well as several highly efficient telescoped processes and robust crystallization for purity control. The final commercial process of vepdegestrant (1) consists of seven proposed regulatory GMP steps with five isolations in an overall yield of 29%.
