AI Article Synopsis

  • The process starts with acylating a specific enantiomer of an amine compound using chloroacetyl chloride.
  • Next, a reduction step with borane is performed to modify the compound further.
  • Finally, aluminum chloride is used as a catalyst to facilitate a cyclization reaction, resulting in the production of enantiopure lorcaserin.

Article Abstract

Acylation of enantiomerically pure (R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)propan-1-amine using chloroacetyl chloride, followed by borane reduction and aluminum chloride catalyzed cyclization yielded enantiopure lorcaserin.
