59-46-1 Usage
Description
Procaine is a local anesthetic with a para-amino function. Sensitization mainly concerns medical, dental
and veterinary professions.
Chemical Properties
The hydrochloride salt
of 2-(diethylamino) ethyl p-aminobenzoate (C13H21ClN2O2
or N2C6H4COOCH2CH2NH(C2H5)2HCl) is generally
referred to as procaine. Although the PABA ester is insoluble in water, the
hydrochloride salt is very soluble in water.
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 59-46-1 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Procaine (Novocain) is mainly used in dental or medical
procedures requiring infiltration anesthesia, peripheral
block, or spinal block.
2. inhibitor of sodium channel
3. Procaine is a sodium channel blocker and inhibitor of a variety of processes.
Definition
ChEBI: A benzoate ester, formally the result of esterification of 4-aminobenzoic acid with 2-diethylaminoethanol but formed experimentally by reaction of ethyl 4-aminobenzoate with 2-diethylaminoethanol.
Biological Functions
Procaine hydrochloride (Novocain) is readily hydrolyzed
by plasma cholinesterase, although hepatic
metabolism also occurs. It is not effective topically but
is employed for infiltration, nerve block, and spinal
anesthesia. It has a relatively slow onset and short (1
hour) duration of action. All concentrations can be
combined with epinephrine. It is available in dental cartridges
with phenylephrine as the vasoconstrictor.
General Description
Procaine was synthesized in 1904 to address the chemical instabilityof cocaine and the local irritation it produced. The pKa of procaine is 8.9; it has low lipid solubility and the estergroup is unstable in basic solutions. Procaine is available inconcentrations ranging from 0.25% to 10% with pHs adjustedto 5.5 to 6.0 for chemical stability. Procaine is also includedin some formulations of penicillin G to decrease the pain ofintramuscular injection.
Clinical Use
Procaine is very quickly metabolizedin the plasma by cholinesterases and in the liver via ester hydrolysisby a pseudocholinesterase. The in vitroelimination half-life is approximately 60 seconds. Any conditionthat decreases the cholinesterase concentration may increaseexposure to procaine and potential toxicity. Decreasedenzyme activity can be found with genetic deficiency, liverdisease, malignancy, malnutrition, renal failure, burns, thirdtrimester of pregnancy, and following cardiopulmonary bypasssurgery. Ester hydrolysis produces PABA, the compoundresponsible for the allergic reactions common to theester anesthetics. Procaine is not used topically because of itsinability to pass through lipid membranes and finds use as aninfiltration agent for cutaneous or mucous membranes, forshort procedures. Procaine is also used for peripheral nerveblock and as an epidural agent to diagnose pain syndromes.
Purification Methods
Procain crystallises as the dihydrate from aqueous EtOH and as the anhydrous material from pet ether or diethyl ether. The latter is hygroscopic. [Beilstein 14 IV 1138.]
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 59-46-1 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 5 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 59-46:
(4*5)+(3*9)+(2*4)+(1*6)=61
61 % 10 = 1
So 59-46-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Metal-Free Aerobic Oxidation of Nitro-Substituted Alkylarenes to Carboxylic Acids or Benzyl Alcohols Promoted by NaOH

Efficient and selective aerobic oxidation of nitro-substituted alkylarenes to functional compounds is a fundamental process that remains a challenge. Here, we report a metal-free, efficient, and practical approach for the direct and selective aerobic oxidation of nitro-substituted alkylarenes to carboxylic acids or benzyl alcohols. This sustainable system uses O2 as clean oxidant in a cheap and green NaOH/EtOH mixture. The position and type of substituent critically affect the products. In addition, this sustainable protocol enabled gram-scale preparation of carboxylic acid and benzyl alcohol derivatives with high chemoselectivities. Finally, the reactions can be conducted in a pressure reactor, which can conserve oxygen and prevent solvent loss. The approach was conducive to environmental protection and potential industrial application.
