Arzneimittel-Forschung
|January 1, 1976
Abstract:
Starting from (+) vincamine (I), simple derivatives of vincaminic acid (II), apovincaminic acid (V) and apovincaminol (VII) were synthetized. Out of these the synthesis of ethyl apovincaminate (Cavinton), as a representative, is described in detail. The water elimination and esterification of II can be carried out in one step.
