2-(diethylamino)-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)acetamide
also
known as lidocaine was synthesized via two different
methods, by reacting 2,6-dimethylaniline with chloroacetyl chloride and diethylamine in a two-step
process. In the first method the final product was
crystallized and vacuum filtered with 76.9% yield; via the
second method the lidocaine final product was isolated
through separatory extraction and was concentrated in a
tarred flask, with 57.1% yield.
