use | this product is a central nervous system excitant, which is 20 times as much as caffeine in the excitatory effect. it is used to treat brain dysfunction, mild depression and narcolepsy, etc. But there are many adverse reactions, and they are gradually replaced by tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants. The oral LD50 of rats is 500mg/kg. |
Production method | The benzaldehyde is condensed and hydrolyzed with chloroform to obtain α-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, and then esterified and cyclized to obtain pemoline. |
