Ej. Corey et al., SYNTHESIS AND X-RAY STRUCTURE OF A POTENT SUPERPOSITIONAL ANALOG OF THE ENANTIOMERIC FORMS OF FLUOXETINE, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 3(12), 1993, pp. 2635-2636
4-Phenyl-4-(p-trifluoromethylphenoxy)piperidine (1), a molecule which
approximates a superimposition of the enantiomers of fluoxetine (2a an
d 2b), has been synthesized and found to be somewhat more active than
2a or 2b as an inhibitor of serotonin uptake.
