I was looking at those 2 molecules which are quite the same except the hydroxy group at the N.
(see https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/adrafinil.modafinil.html (https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/adrafinil.modafinil.html)
)
Can this hydroxy group in adrafinil be reduced to give modafinil ?
Since 300mg of adrafinil ~= 100mg of modafinil in dosage, and the expensive price of modafinil, it would be a cheap way to get modafinil.
