Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo modify the synthetic method of fluvoxamine.
METHODSFluvoxamine was synthesized from 4-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile by the steps of Grignard reaction, hydrolysis and oximation.
RESULTThe chemical structure of the synthesized product was confirmed by (1)HNMR, and the total yield reached to 36.16%.
CONCLUSIONThe results indicate that the synthetic route is practical.
