Reactivity Profile

DOXYLAMINE is an amine. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides

Transition-Metal Free Chemoselective Hydroxylation and Hydroxylation-Deuteration of Heterobenzylic Methylenes

We developed an approach for direct selective hydroxylation of heterobenzylic methylenes to secondary alcohols avoiding overoxidation to ketones by using a KOBu-t/DMSO/air system. Most reactions could reach completion in several minutes to give hydroxylated products in 41-76% yields. Using DMSO-d6, this protocol resulted in difunctionalization of heterobenzylic methylenes to afford α-deuterated secondary alcohols (>93% incorporation). By employing this method, active pharmaceutical ingredients carbinoxamine and doxylamine were synthesized in two steps in moderate yields.

A method for preparing many west pulls sensitively succinic acid

The invention relates to a preparation method of doxylamine succinate. The preparation method comprises the steps as follows: firstly, a Grignard reagent generated by iodobenzene and magnesium reacts with 2-acetylpyridine to generate 2-pyridyl phenyl methyl alcohol, the 2-pyridyl phenyl methyl alcohol is recrystallized to be purified, then the 2-pyridyl phenyl methyl alcohol reacts with sodium amide and 2-dimethylamino chloroethane sequentially, doxylamine is obtained and has a salt forming reaction with succinic acid finally, and the doxylamine succinate is obtained. The preparation method is high in reaction efficiency, lower in cost and applicable to industrial mass production.
