| Abstract: | This thesis examines routes for the asymmetric synthesis of three members of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory class of drugs (NSAIDs) The aryl propanoic acid ibuprofen is synthesized in 96% e.e. Control of stereochemistry is achieved by use of the Sharpless epoxidation reaction, followed by reduction of the product epoxide by complex hydride with assistance by titanium tetraisopropoxide acting as a Lewis acid. The final step is the coupling of an optically active carboxylic acid intermediate with the iso-butyl side chain to give (S)-ibuprofen. |
