Abstract

The development and scale-up of an optimized synthesis for a novel drug candidate for depression and anxiety is presented. The updated synthesis represents a convergent and efficient four-stage approach to the API, overcoming high cost of goods (COG), general lack of convergence, and low yield of previous routes. A lower cost of goods resulted from using 3-nitrosalicylaldehyde as a starting material and introducing the expensive side chain (2- ...
