摘要
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 hydrochloride (97% ee and 56% overall yield from benzaldehyde). (R)-fluoxetine hydrochloride was prepared by the same sequence except that Ti[OCH(CH3)(2)](4)/(R)-BINOL was used in the first reaction to give the enantiomer of 2. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
