An efficient solid-phase synthesis approach is here reported for the first time to prepare the EGFR inhibitor Gefitinib. The five-step synthetic strategy used FMP resin as the solid support, and FTIR and colorimetric assays were used to track the reaction’s progress. Gefitinib was obtained with an overall yield of 40%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
