Synthesis of methylamino-2-phenyl-2-butyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate, the main bioactive metabolite of trimebutine maleate.
The first synthesis of the methylamino-2-phenyl-2-butyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (desmethyltrimebutine) I is described. This compound is the main bioactive metabolite of trimebutine II (Debridat, CAS 39133-31-8), an antispasmodic widely used for intestinal diseases since 1969. It was used for pharmacokinetic and bioequivalence studies.
