The piperazine carboxamide compounds are of Formula (III): 1 wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are defined herein. The process for preparing the intermediates comprises coupling an iminium salt of Formula I: 2 with a metallated derivative of a compound of Formula (II): R1—H (II), wherein L− is a counterion. A process for preparing the iminium salt of Formula (I) is also disclosed, as is a process for preparing HIV protease inhibitors from Compound III.
