Meprobamate—marketed as Miltown by Wallace Laboratories and Equanil by Wyeth, among others—is a carbamate derivative used as an anxiolytic drug. It was the best-selling minor tranquilizer for a time, but has largely been replaced by the benzodiazepines due to their wider therapeutic index (lower risk of toxicity at therapeutically prescribed doses) and lower incidence of serious side effects.
The chemical compound isobutyl acetate, also known as 2-methylpropyl ethanoate (IUPAC name) or β-methylpropyl acetate, is a common solvent. It is produced from the esterification of isobutanol with acetic acid .
Isobutyl formate (2-methylpropyl methanoate) is an organic ester with the chemical formula C 5 H 10 O 2. It is formed by the Fischer esterification of isobutanol with formic acid, with the aid of an acid catalyst. It is used as a flavor and fragrance ingredient because of its odor which is sweet, ethereal, and slightly fruity. [2] [3]
The molecular formula C 4 H 8 O 2 may refer to: Acetoin; ... Methyl propanoate; Propyl formate; Isopropyl formate
Methyl propionate can be prepared by esterification of propionic acid with methanol. Industrially, it is prepared by carboalkoxylation, i.e., the reaction of ethylene with carbon monoxide and methanol in the presence of a catalyst: C 2 H 4 + CO + MeOH → MeO 2 CCH 2 CH 3. The reaction is catalyzed by nickel carbonyl and palladium(0) complexes ...
Substituted phenylmorpholines, or substituted phenmetrazines alternatively, are chemical derivatives of 2-phenylmorpholine or of the psychostimulant drug phenmetrazine.Most such compounds act as releasers of monoamine neurotransmitters, and have stimulant effects.
[1] [2] In Ireland and the UK, the comparable preparation is surgical spirit B.P., which the British Pharmacopoeia defines as 95% methylated spirit, 2.5% castor oil, 2% diethyl phthalate, and 0.5% methyl salicylate. [3] Under its alternative name of "wintergreen oil", methyl salicylate is a common additive to North American rubbing alcohol ...
Isobutyric acid, also known as 2-methylpropanoic acid or isobutanoic acid, is a carboxylic acid with structural formula (CH 3) 2 CHCOOH. It is an isomer of butyric acid . It is classified as a short-chain fatty acid .
