Description

Modafinil is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs called central nervous system stimulants. It is used to treat narcolepsy and other sleep disorders, as well as to help people with excessive daytime sleepiness associated with shift work disorder or obstructive sleep apnea. Modafinil has been shown to be effective in treating depression. This drug also has a rapid onset of action and can be taken once per day. Modafinil is a racemic compound, consisting of two enantiomers: R-modafinil and S-modafinil. Both forms are active, but only R-modafinil has been approved for use in the United States. The synthesis of modafinil starts with the sulfoxide 2-(diphenylmethyl)thioacetic acid (2DPMT), which reacts with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in an amide formation reaction to give 2-[(d
