A new method for the preparation of optically active omeprazole, consisting in asymmetric oxidation of the corresponding sulfide with the use of vanadyl complexes with chiral Schiff bases as the catalysts has been elaborated. The best results of the oxidation were achieved by the use of the combination VO(acac) 2 -2 [{(1S,2S,3R,5S) 3 hydroxymethyl 2,6,6 trimethyl bicyclo[3.1.1]hept 2 ylimino}methyl]phenol-N ethyl N,N diisopropylamine.
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.
