Hi,

An interesting article. I can't believe the author left out perhaps the most important detail of all, Leo Sternbach discovered Librium long before valium was synthesized. The compound for librium was almost accidentally thrown out in 1957 by an assistant of Sternbach. benzo.org.uk has the whole Librium story which makes for interesting reading. You can also just search the web for 'Who discovered Librium'. Valium may have sold better but Librium was the first benzo of all. Nice article though. JN
