From the Wings of Butterflies:
The Discovery and Synthesis of Alimta
The following essay describes
in broad terms the history of the discovery of Alimta. It was written as
a part of a brochure celebrating the dedication of Princeton’s
magnificent new chemistry building, completed by the end of 2010. The
building, recognized as perhaps the finest, best-equipped, and designed
facility for academic chemistry research in the country, was financed by
royalties to Princeton from sales of Alimta by Eli Lilly & Co., to
whom Princeton had given an exclusive license. The article was addressed
to a general audience; my lecture in Glasgow1 filled in the organic and
heterocyclic chemistry involved in the extensive explorations that
finally led to the discovery and synthesis of Alimta.
