• Alternate Synthesis 2 requires only a single C-N coupling step, in contrast to the two consecutive C-N coupling steps needed in the discovery route (Steps 4 and 5, Scheme 1). Therefore, Alternate Synthesis 2 is a more cost-efficient synthesis due to reduced cost associated with precious metal catalyst and extra processing associated with heavy metal removal.
• a significant limitation of the first C-N coupling step of the discovery route (Step 4, Scheme 1) is the formation of polymeric impurities resulting from reaction of the desired product of the reaction (Compound 5) with another molecule of amine 4 and so on (Scheme 3).

This problem can be solved by using Alternate Synthesis 2.
• Alternate Synthesis 2 also eliminates the high-pressure hydrogenation step of the discovery route (Step 2 of Scheme 1, approximately 725 psi or 5 MPa). A hydrogen pressure of 150 psi was found to be sufficient for the hydrogenation.
• Alternate Synthesis 2 utilizes the thermally stable BHs DMS complex in the amide reduction reaction (Step 3, Scheme 4), in contrast to the potentially explosive BHs THF reagent used in the discovery route (Step 3, Scheme 1). As described above, BHs DMS can be heated at higher temperatures with significantly less risk for a runaway reaction. Accordingly, Alternate Synthesis 2 eliminates the explosion hazard associated with the discovery route.
