Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2000 Sep 4;10(17):1983-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00383-8.

Abstract

Sildenafil 1 (Viagra), a well known and commercially important pharmaceutical drug, has been prepared using polymer-supported reagents in a multi-step, convergent process resulting in a clean and efficient preparation without the need for conventional purification methods.
