Synthesis

edit
 
Thieme ChemDrug Synthesis:[2][3][4] Patent:[5][6] Sep optical antipodes:[7]

The alkylation between 3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenylacetonitrile [13338-63-1] (1)and 2-chloropropane [75-29-6] (2) gives 3-Methyl-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)butanenitrile [36622-33-0] (3). Treatment with N-Methyl-N-(3-Chloropropyl)Homoveratrylamine [36770-74-8] (4) completed the synthesis of Gallopamil (5).
