Abstract
The enantioselective synthesis of fluoxetine hydrochloride, a potent serotonin-uptake inhibitor, is described. The synthesis of (S)-fluoxetine hydrochloride begins with the asymmetric carbonyl-ene reaction of benzaldehyde with 3-methylene-2, 3-dihydrofuran (1) catalyzed by Ti [OCH (CH3) 2] 4/(S)-BINOL to give (S)-2-(3-furyl)-1-phenyl-1-ethanol (2) in 90% yield and 95% ee. In five steps, alcohol 2 was converted into (S)-fluoxetine ...
