The present invention provides compounds, compositions thereof, and methods of using the same.

The present invention relates to an improved asymmetric synthesis of alpha-branched amines (hereafter referred to as the compound) and relative chiral amines (1″) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt and derivatives. The process comprises an unusual substrate specific regioselective ortho lithiation of substituted arene compounds, followed by its highly diastereoselective addition to N-tert-butanesulfinylimines resulting in the selective formation of alpha-branched sulfinyl amine and chiral amine; which on subsequently removing the sulfinyl group provides corresponding alpha-branched amines or relative chiral amines (1″).

The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I),

##STR00001##

wherein R.sup.1-R.sup.5 and L are as described herein, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and compositions including the compounds and methods of using the compounds.

Provided is a compound of Formula (I): ##STR00001## wherein the variable groups are defined herein.

Provided is a compound of Formula (I): ##STR00001## wherein the variable groups are defined herein.

The present invention relates to novel compounds of general formula (I) wherein the groups X, and R.sup.1 to R.sup.4 have the meanings given in the description and claims, process for preparing these compounds and their use as for treating, preventing or ameliorating viral infections and their use for treating, preventing or ameliorating diseases which are associated with PLA2G16. ##STR00001##
