About this document
Synthesis of Commercial Drugs in Chemistry by Cy Moon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the syntheses of three commercial drugs: Lyrica (pregabalin), Prilosec-Nexium (omeprazole-esomeprazole), and an unnamed drug. For Lyrica, it describes using Evans diastereoselective alkylation to achieve asymmetric synthesis in a very powerful way. For Prilosec-Nexium, it outlines the first synthesis by preparing the compound in racemic form. For the unnamed drug, it provides the starting materials and reaction steps to synthesize the final product.
