• a known route of synthesizing nirogacestat offers few points for the control of impurities other than at the final isolation (Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 27:2637-2640 (2011)).

This route also exhibits a low yield when a norvaline moiety and tetralone fragments are coupled (Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 27:2637-2640 (2011)). Therefore, there exists a need for developing a new route to introduce additional control points to purge impurities and minimize any loss of stereochemical integrity.

• protecting group refers to group that blocks, i.e., protects, the amine functionality while reactions are carried out on other functional groups or parts of the molecule.
• Those skilled in the art will be familiar with the selection, attachment, and cleavage of protecting groups and will appreciate that different protective groups are known in the art, the suitability of one protective group or another being dependent on the particular the synthetic scheme planned.
