CAS Registry Number: 149-15-5
Trademarks: Butyn Sulfate (Abbott)
Molecular Formula: (C18H30N2O2)2.H2SO4
Molecular Weight: 710.96
Percent Composition: C 60.82%, H 8.79%, N 7.88%, O 18.00%, S 4.51%
Properties: Crystals from n-propanol, mp 138.5-139.5°. Also reported as mp 100-103°. Produces numbness of tongue on tasting. Affected by light. One gram dissolves slowly in somewhat less than 1 ml water, more rapidly on heating. Quite sol in warm alc, in acetone; slightly sol in chloroform. Practically insol in ether. Aq soln is practically neutral to litmus and may be boiled for sterilization without dec. LD50 i.v. in mice: 12.4 mg/kg (Schmidt). Pharmaceutical Incompat. Alkalies and alkaline-reacting substances liberate the free base as an oily liquid from solns. Bicarbonates produce a precipitate of butacaine carbonate. Iodine gives a brown precipitate. Chlorides form the almost insol butacaine chloride which may precipitate.
Melting point: mp 138.5-139.5°; mp 100-103°
