Walk the model: naproxen
Showcase: powered by SynovAI
Step 1 of 5
Walk SynovAI's retrosynthesis of naproxen. The rubric walks racemic naproxen on a 6-methoxynaphthalene core; the textbook ground truth is the BHC-style carbonylation analog of the ibuprofen route, plus Williamson O-methylation of 2-naphthol at the start. Asymmetric resolution to the (S)-enantiomer is a separate lesson.
