Amosulalol (INN) is anantihypertensive drug. It has much higheraffinity forα1-adrenergic receptors than forβ-adrenergic receptors.[1] It is not approved for use in theUnited States.
Guaiacol (1) reacts withethylene oxide to give 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethanol (2).Halogenation withthionyl chloride converts the alcohol group to a chloride, (3), which is used toalkylatebenzylamine (4) to give thesecondary amine (5). This forms atertiary amine (7) when combined with 5-bromoacetyl-2-methylbenzenesulfonamide (6). The reduction of thecarbonyl group withsodium borohydride produces (8) andcatalytic hydrogenation removes thebenzyl group, yielding amosulalol.[2][3][4]
