Carbromalis ahypnotic/sedativeoriginally synthesized in 1909 by Bayer and subsequently marketed asAdalin.[1][2]The drug was later sold byParke-Davisin combination withpentobarbital,under the nameCarbrital.[3]
Synthesis[edit]

Diethylmalonic acid [510-20-3] (1) is decarboxylated to 2-ethylvaleric acid [20225-24-5] (2). TheHell-Volhard-Zelinsky reactionconverts this to 2-Bromo-2-Ethylbutyryl Bromide [26074-53-3] (3). Reaction withureawith affords carbromal (4).
