Abstract

... Organic Process Research & Development. ... of citalopram (1a), initially we focused on development of a diastereomeric salt resolution process for 1a. ... After several unsuccessful synthetic approaches we established an optimum procedure to access (±)-(4) by C-alkylation of 1-(4 ...
