Chiral 4,4-dimethyl tetrahydrofuran (THF) derivatives were synthesized from commercially available D-(-)/ l-(+) pantolactones, which can serve as chiral building blocks in medicinal chemistry. In addition, two of the synthesized building blocks were utilized for the synthesis of new amprenavir (HIV protease inhibitor) and empagliflozin (anti-diabetic) analogs. The synthesized analogs may have beneficial effects in terms of pharmacokinetics and modulation of bioactivity.
