Amylocaine was the first synthetic local anesthetic. It was synthesized and patented under the name Stovaine by Ernest Fourneau at the Pasteur Institute in 1903.[1] It was used mostly in spinal anesthesia.[2]

Synthesis

Synthesis:[3][4][5] Patents:[6][7]

Grignard reaction of chloroacetone (1) with one mole of magnesium ethyl bromide gives 1-chloro-2-methyl-butan-2-ol [74283-48-0] (2). Heating with dimethylamine gives 1-(dimethylamino)-2-methylbutan-2-ol [74347-10-7] (3). These two steps can also be treated as interchangeable. Esterification with benzoyl chloride completed the synthesis of amylocaine (4).[3][4]
