Tybamate(INN;Solacen,Tybatran,Effisax) is ananxiolyticof thecarbamatefamily.[1]It is aprodrugformeprobamatein the same way as the better known drugcarisoprodol.It has liver enzyme inducing effects similar to those ofphenobarbitalbut much weaker.[2]

As the trade name Tybatran (Robins), it was formerly available in capsules of 125, 250, and 350 mg, taken 3 or 4 times a day for a total daily dosage of 750 mg to 2 g. The plasma half-life of the drug is three hours. At high doses in combination withphenothiazines,it could produce convulsions.[3]

Synthesis

edit

Catalytic hydrogenationof 2-methyl-2-pentenal (1) gives thealdehyde2-methylpentanal (2). Treatment withformaldehydegives acrossed Cannizzaro reactionyielding2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)pentane(3).Cyclisationof thisdiolwithdiethyl carbonategives (4), which reacts with ammonia to provide thecarbamate(5). Lastly, treatment with butyl isocyanate (6) produces tybamate.[4][5][6]
