1 the 2-Step Synthesis of Lidocaine Review
The 2-Step Synthesis of Lidocaine Review: You should review SN2 reactions. You also need to do some on your own reading of section 20- 15 in Wade. Make sure you are familiar with macroscale recrystallization and macroscale separation using a separatory funnel. Introduction: Lidocaine is a member of the Caine family of pharmaceutical local anesthetics. Figure 1 below shows the chemical structure of Lidocaine as well as three other members of this important family of numbing agents. Figure 1. Well-known compounds in the Caine family of local anesthetics NH2 H N CO2CH3 N CO2CH2CH3 N O O Ph N H N O O 2 O Lidocaine Cocaine Novocaine Benzocaine When used correctly, these compounds are very effective at providing local anesthesia, or the numbing feeling you get when you go to the dentist for a filling, for example. These compounds are administered topically, orally, or injected, depending on the situation. Topical creams and ointments that are available over the counter (OTC) generally contain Lidocaine and sometimes Benzocaine. Of the four compounds in Figure 1, Cocaine is not available OTC (hopefully this is obvious) and is not commonly used among the medical community due to its extremely addictive nature. Local anesthetics prevent us from experiencing pain in a small portion of the body, i.e., wherever it is applied. When a local anesthetic is injected directly into the spinal fluid, our entire lower body goes numb. An example of the latter is an epidural given to a woman in labor, most commonly Bupivacaine (structure not shown). A common example of a local anesthetic is the use of Benzocaine in teething gel (Orajel®) for infants.

1. A. the First Reaction Is a Friedel-Crafts Acylation (FCA), Where the Major Product Is the Para- Isomer (60% Isolated Yield)
1. a. The first reaction is a Friedel-Crafts Acylation (FCA), where the major product is the para- isomer (60% isolated yield). The second reaction is a nitration, where the incoming electrophile (nitronium ion) is directed to the ortho position of the methoxy group. The last reaction is a Wolff-Kishner reduction that converts the acetyl group into an ethyl group. The nitro group does not react under these conditions. OCH OCH OCH OCH3 3 3 3 NO2 NO2 N2H4/KOH CH3COCl/AlCl3 H2SO4/HNO3 0 oC O CH 3 O CH3 CH3 (A) Reaction 1 (B) Reaction 2 (C) Reaction 3 (P) b. The best solvent for the FC-acylation is dichloromethane. Tetrahydrofuran is a fairly strong Lewis base, which would react and deactivate the AlCl3 catalyst. Ethanol would also react with AlCl3 and form alcoholates, which are inactive at FCA catalyst. Dichloromethane is polar enough to dissolve all three compounds but does not form adducts with AlCl3. Thus, aluminum chloride maintains its Lewis acidity. 3+ c. As discussed in lecture, AlCl3*6 H2O is not suitable as catalyst because the Al is not a strong Lewis acid anymore. In addition, larger amounts of water would destroy the acetyl chloride as well (=hydrolysis, CH3COCl + H2O ---- > CH3COOH + HCl). Consequently, the reaction would not proceed in the desired fashion. 3+ OH2 H2O OH2 Al H2O OH2 OH2 d. In order to determine the yield, one has to calculate the number of moles of the reactant and the product. nA = 1.90 mL * 0.996 g/mL/108.14 g/mol = 17.5 mmol nCH3COCl = 2.49 mL * 1.104 g/mL/78.5 g/mol = 35.0 mmol nAlCl3 = 4.67 g/133.5 g/mol = 35.0 mmol Compound (A) is the limiting reagent.

KETENE REACTIONS. I. THE ADDITION OF ACID CHLORIDES TO DIMETHYLKETENE. II. THE CYCLOADDITION OF KETENES TO CARBONYL COMPOUNDS APPROVED: Graduate Committee: Major Professor Committee Member.rr^- Committee Member Committee Member Director of the Department of Chemistry Dean' of the Graduate School Smith, Larry, Ketene Reactions. I. The Addition of Acid Chlorides to DimethyIketene. II. The Cycloaddition of Ketenes to Carbonvl Compounds. Doctor of Philosophy (Chemistry), December, 1970, 63 pp., 3 tables, bibliography, 62 titles. Part I describes the addition of several acid chlorides to dimethylketene. The resulting 3-ketoacid chlorides were isolated and characterized. The reactivities of acid chlorides were found to parallel the parent acid pKa's. A reactivity order of ketenes toward acid chlorides was established. Dimethylketene is more reactive than ketene which is more reactive than diphenylketene. Attempts to effect the addition of an acid halide to a ketene produced by in situ dehydro- halogenation yielded a-halovinyl esters. The addition of acid chlorides to ketenes was concluded to be an ionic process dependent upon the nucleophilic character of the ketene oc- carbon and the polarity of the carbon-chlorine bond in the acid chloride. Part II describes the cycloaddition of several aldo- ketenes to chloral. The ketenes were generated in situ by dehydrohalogenation and dehalogenation of appropriately substituted acyl halides. Both cis- and trans-4-trichloro- Miyl-2-oxetanones are produced in the cycloadditions with the sterically hindered cis isomer predominating. Isomer distributions were determined by vpc or nmr analysis of the reaction solutions. Production of the ketenes by dehalo- genation resulted in enhanced reactivity of the carbonyl compounds.

China *Corresponding author: Fax: +86 351 6111178; Tel: +86 351 60105503; E-mail: [email protected] Received: 14 March 2013; Accepted: 17 May 2013; Published online: 15 January 2014; AJC-14570 The process of acetic acid catalysis and chlorination for synthesizing chloroacetic acid can exist in not only gas phase but also liquid phase. In this paper, the gas-phase reaction mechanism of the synthesis of chloroacetic acid was studied. Due to the high concentration of acetic acid and the better reaction mass transfer in the liquid-phase reaction, the generation amount of the dichloroacetic acid was higher than that in the gas-phase reaction. Under the solution distillation, the concentration of acetyl chloride, whose boiling point is very low, was very high in the gas phase, sometimes even up to 99 %, which would cause the acetyl chloride to escape rapidly with the hydrogen chloride exhaust, so that the reaction slowed down. Therefore, series reactions occured easily in the gas-phase reaction causing the amount of the dichloroacetic acid to increase. Keywords: Gas phase, Catalysis, Chlorination, Chloroacetic acid, Acetic acid. INTRODUCTION Martikainen et al.3 summed up the reaction mechanism that was consistent with a mechanism found by Sioli according Chloroacetic acid is not only a fine chemical product but to the system condition experiment and systematic theoretical also an important intermediate in organic synthesis.

Methods for the Acylation of Aromatic Amino Com- Pounds and Ureas, with Especial Refer- Ence to Chloroacetylation
ACYLATION OF AROMATIC AMINO COMPOUNDS AND UREAS. 1439 m-Aminobenzoy1urea.-The necessary m-nitrobenzoylurea was pre- pared by boiling the acid chloride and urea in benzene for IZ hours in- stead of following Griess' method' of fusing the components at 150'. The amino urea was obtained in the same way as the o-isomer, except that it was necessary to evaporate the alcohol before the substance sepa- rated completely on cooling. The yield was 6 g. from IO g. of the nitro compound. As Griess' description of m-aminobenzoylurea is not com- plete, the following is appended: When rapidly heated it melts with gas evolution at about ZIO', resolidifying and then remelting at about 275-80'. It is readily diazotized, in contradistinction to the o-isomer, yielding a scarlet color with R-salt, and dissolves readily in boiling water or 95% alcohol.

BY WALTERA. JACOBS AND MICHAELHBIDBLBERGER. Received May 5, 1917. The importance of the halogenacetyl compounds has been demonstrated by their frequent use in organic synthesis. The great reactivity of the halogen atom has permitted their use in practically all the reactions in which alkyl halides have been employed. In the work of the authors on the quaternary salts of hexamethylenetetramine2 one phase of their usefulness in synthetic work in chemotherapy was demonstrated.
