Reaction Steps

The synthesis of Midodrine HCl consists of reacting the key intermediate (2) with chloroacetyl chloride to afford 2-chloro-N-[2-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]acetamide (3). The reaction of (3) with sodium azide will provide 2-azido-N-[2-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]acetamide (4) which is subsequently subjected to hydrogenation to afford Midodrine base (6).
