A Novel Telescoped Kilogram-Scale Process for Preparation of Obeticholic Acid

Abstract A novel scalable four-step process has been developed to improve the synthesis of obeticholic acid (OCA). The key step of this process was the isolation of the amide intermediate, which underwent hydrogenation, basic epimerization, ketone reduction, and amide hydrolysis in a one-pot procedu...
