Definition

ChEBI: Nylidrin hydrochloride is an alkylbenzene.

Manufacturing Process

The p-benzoxy-α-bromopropiophenone and 1-phenyl-3-amino-butane were heating for an hour on the water bath in the absence of solvents. A solid crystalline cake was obtained. After being extracted with boiling acetic acid, the hydrobromide of 1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(β-phenylbutylamino)propanone-1 was obtained.
The hydrobromide of 1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(β-phenylbutylamino)propanone- 1 was suspended in very pure methanol and shaken with a 10% palladium hydroxide barium sulfate catalyst in contact with, hydrogen. After rather more than 2 mols of hydrogen had been taken-up the hydrogenation stopped. The 1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(3-phenylbutylamino)propanol-1, was filtered, washed with methanol and evaporated, melting point 110-111°C.

Therapeutic Function
