Control of stereochemistry is achieved by use of the Sharpless epoxidation reaction, followed by reduction of the product epoxide by complex hydride with assistance by titanium tetraisopropoxide acting as a Lewis acid. The final step is the coupling of an optically active carboxylic acid intermediate with the iso-butyl side chain to give (S)-ibuprofen. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Organic Chemistry, 1997?

From introduction : "Inflammation per se, has been defined sufficiently to permit a rational approach to the search for drugs that modify this process, but satisfactory animal models for most rheumatoid diseases are not available". (Swingle 1974) In the search for new meaningful procedures for the detection and evaluation of anti-inflammatory drugs, the rabbit eye as a test system was studied.
