Clofexamide ,CNRS | [Uses]
Clofexamide (ANP 246; Amichlophene) is a potent antidepressant agent. Clofexamide also shows anti-inflammatory activity[1][2]. | [Manufacturing Process]
In 1 L of water there is dissolved 116.0 g (1 mole) of N,Ndiethylethylenediamine and, under vigorous stirring at a temperature
maintained below 50°C, there is added 205.0 g (1 mole) of the chloride of pchlorphenoxyacetic acid. The solution becomes rapidly homogeneous; the
formation of the basic amide hydrochloride is rapidly completed by further
stirring the reaction mixture for 2 h at about 20°C. Then an excess of soda lye
is added and the basic amide formed is extracted by ether. The ethereal
solution is dried on anhydrous sodium sulfate and ether is distilled after that
the residue is dried. So 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)-N-(2-(diethylamino)ethyl)
acetamide is obtained. | [Therapeutic Function]
