Title: Where can I reference a Prozac synthesis?
Post by: zilalti on April 24, 2008, 02:38:55 PM

Hi, im doing a project on the chemistry of antidepressants and in parts i talk about the synthesis of Prozac. I looked on the web for a long time and could only find the synthesis here ...

http://www.nitrogenorder.org/molweek/sep2005/04sep05.shtml

However I have reference my sources and I can't really reference that website. Do any of you know where i could find a journal or respectable source with this synthesis?

The page you've cited gives U.S. Patent 4314081 as a paper reference, if that's what you're after.

Failing that I think US Patent 4018895 was the original patent.
