Abstract
A convenient synthesis of the antidepressant paroxetine starting from 1‐benzyl‐4‐piperidone (2) is reported. A stereoselective reduction resulted in cis‐piperidine‐3‐methanol [(+)‐6]. The reaction between cis‐piperidine‐3‐methanol mesylate (7) and sesamol led to benzyl‐protected trans‐paroxetine (9) through an inversion reaction of the stereogenic center at position 3. The latter compound was deprotected by hydrogenolysis. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
