Synthesis and craftsmanship optimization of R-modafinil
Objective To synthesize R-modafinil and optimize the synthetic route. Methods Target molecule R-modafinil was synthesized from diphenylmethanol and mercapto-acetic acid by a six-step reaction
including condensation
esterification
oxidation
deprotection
split
and ammonification. Results The target molecule was synthesized and identified by spectropolarimeter
13
C NMR
