Tetracainhydrochlorid

VerwendenTetracaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic used topically in opthalmology.It is a highly effective local anesthetic that reversibly blocks nerve function. It is clinically used for infiltration anesthesia, nerve block anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, etc. Compared with procaine, its local anesthesia effect is remarkable. Tetracaine hydrochloride has been widely used in clinical practice.

synthetischeSynthesis of tetracaine hydrochloride using 4-Methyl-2-pentanone as starting material: To the reaction kettle, first add 320.0kg of methyl isobutyl ketone, then add 40.0kg (207mol) of 4-Butylaminobenzoic acid and 56.8kg of anhydrous potassium carbonate in turn, heat the oil bath to 116°C for reflux reaction for 4h, stop heating, and react for a while. Cool for 0.5h, then add 38.3kg (266mol) of 2-Dimethylaminoethyl Chloride Hydrochloride, continue to heat to 116°C for reflux reaction for 4h, and cool to below 30°C after the reaction is complete, then add deionized water 127.0 kg stirred for 30min, left standing for 1h, separated the organic layer, dried and concentrated to obtain an oily substance, then added 169.0kg of acetone and stirred, adjusted the pH value with concentrated hydrochloric acid to 3-4, and precipitated a large number of crystals, which continued to crystallize for 12h after freezing. , centrifugal filtration and drying to obtain 53.0kg of white solid which is tetracaine hydrochloride, the yield is 85.07%, and the HPLC purity is 99.34%.
