Synthesis of Gefitinibfrom Methyl 3-Hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzoate

This paper reports a novel synthesis of gefitinib starting from methyl3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate. The process starts with alkylation of the starting material, followed by nitration, reduction, cyclization, chlorination and two successive amination reactions. The intermediates andtarget molecule wer...
