Carbromal is a hypnotic/sedative originally synthesized in 1909 by Bayer and subsequently marketed as Adalin.{{cite journal | vauthors = Borrie P | title = A purpuric drug eruption caused by carbromal | journal = British Medical Journal | volume = 1 | issue = 4914 | pages = 645–6 | date = March 1955 | pmid = 13230580 | pmc = 2061381 | doi = 10.1136/bmj.1.4914.645 }}{{cite patent|country=DE|number=22571|pubdate=1910-09-17|title=Verfahren dur Darstellung von Bromodiäthylacetylharnstoff [Method for the preparation of bromodiethylacetylurea]|assign=Friedrich Bayer & Co.}} The drug was later sold by Parke-Davis in combination with pentobarbital, under the name Carbrital.{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/4636066|title=Physicians' Desk Reference.|date=1979|publisher=Medical Economics Co|isbn=0-87489-999-0|edition=33|location=Oradell, N.J.|pages=1266|oclc=4636066}} As of 2015, it was still used in Hungary in combination with aminophenazone under the name Demalgon.

Synthesis

File:Carbromal synthesis.svg

Diethylmalonic acid [510-20-3] (1) is decarboxylated to 2-ethylvaleric acid [20225-24-5] (2). The Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction converts this to 2-Bromo-2-Ethylbutyryl Bromide [26074-53-3] (3). Reaction with urea with affords carbromal (4).
