Synthesis of anticonvulsants
« on: February 04, 2008, 02:29:48 PM »
Carbamate type (Meprobamate, Tybamate, and the simplest one Phenprobamate if you want the molecule shapes visit www.chemfinder.com because I don't know how to attach pictures) anticonvulsants and their synthesis!!! How to attach that ketoamine (amide) group to the O-

I thought that O-Br + NaCN => HCl => Amide But its totally wrong
or if not ONa + BrCN (CAUTION!!!) => HCl => Amide

From a theoretical standpoint, I think you can just perform the esterification with carbamic acid (NH2COOH).  My intuition says it will be exceptionally unstable and low-yielding, but I think it's technically sound.

Add ammonia and phosgene (or phosgene equivalent) to form the isocyanate, then react with your alcohol.
