Chlorpheniramine Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine. Antihistamines are medications used to relieve symptoms of allergies, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), and the common cold. These symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and itchy throat. Chlorpheniramine is sold under different brand names, including Chlor-Trimeton®.
Uses
Chlorpheniramine reduces the allergic response of the organism caused by histamine. It is used for allergy symptoms, rhinitis, and also as an ingredient in numerous compositions with ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, which are recommended for colds, upper respiratory tract infections, and allergic rhinitis. Synonyms of this drug are chlortrimeton, histaspan, tripolon, and teldrin.
Definition
Chlorphenamine is a tertiary amino compound that is propylamine which is substituted at position 3 by a pyridin-2-yl group and a p-chlorophenyl group and in which the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen are replaced by methyl groups. A histamine H1 antagonist, it is used to relieve the symptoms of hay fever, rhinitis, urticaria, and asthma. It has a role as a H1-receptor antagonist, an antipruritic drug, a histamine antagonist, a serotonin uptake inhibitor, an antidepressant and an anti-allergic agent. It is a tertiary amino compound, a member of monochlorobenzenes and a member of pyridines.

Synthesis
Chlorpheniramine, 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-pyridyl)propyldimethylamine
(16.1.12), is synthesized in two ways. The first is from 4-chlorbenzylcyanide, which
is reacted with 2-chlorpyridine in the presence of sodium amide to form 4-chlorphenyl
(2-pyridyl)acetonitrile (16.1.10). Alkylating this with 2-dimethylaminoethylchloride in the
presence of sodium amide gives |-(4-chlorphenyl)-|-cyano-N,N-dimethyl-2-pyridinepropanamine
(16.1.11), the hydrolysis and decarboxylation of which lead to chlorpheniramine
(16.1.12).
The second way is from pyridine, which undergoes alkylation by 4-chlorobenzylchloride,
giving 2-(4-chlorobenzyl)pyridine (16.1.13). Alkylating this with 2-dimethylaminoethylchloride
in the presence of sodium amide gives chlorpheniramine (16.1.12).
