Overview

Metharbital was patented in 1905 by Emil Fischer working for Merck.[1] It was marketed as Gemonil by Abbott Laboratories. It is a barbiturate anticonvulsant, used in the treatment of epilepsy. It has similar properties to phenobarbital.

History

  • 1952 Gemonil was introduced by Abbott Laboratories.
  • 1990 Abbott stopped marketing.

In an interesting variation on this theme (cf hexobarbital), the bis acid chloride of diethylmalonate (1) is condensed with the O-methyl ether of urea (2, Methyl carbamimidate[4]) to afford the imino ether of the barbituric acid (3). Heating this ether at 200°C results in O to N migration of the methyl group and formation of metharbital 4.
