Physical and Chemical Properties | Crystallization of chemical properties. Melting point 60 ℃, boiling point 190-192 ℃(0.4kPa). Its hydrochloride ([58-33-3]) is white or almost white powder or particles with a melting point of 230-232 ℃ (partial decomposition). Easily soluble in water, soluble in ethanol or chloroform, almost insoluble in acetone or ether. Almost odorless, bitter, turning blue in the air over time. |
Use | Use Antihistamines. It is suitable for various allergic diseases (such as asthma, urticaria, allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma, etc.) and vomiting during pregnancy. It can also be combined with chlorpromazine to form Kemian mixture for artificial hibernation. |
Toxicity | LD50 oral in rabbit: 580mg/kg |
Add phenthidine and base to toluene, and heat and reflux for 1h. Slightly cold, add 2-chloro-1-dimethylaminopropane toluene solution, reflux with water for 10-12h. Cold to below 50 ℃, the reaction liquid is filtered, the filter residue is washed with a small amount of acetone and water, the washing filtrate is combined, standing, toluene layer is separated, toluene is recovered by distillation under reduced pressure, and 220-260 ℃(1.33-2.66kPa) fraction is collected to obtain promethazine (base). The promethazine base is added to acetone, and dry hydrogen chloride gas is introduced at about 50 ℃ for salt formation reaction to generate promethazine hydrochloride.
