Sematilide is an antiarrhythmic agent. It is the same structure as for procainamide, differing only by the placement of a mesyl sulfonamide moiety to the anilino nitrogen.
Synthesis
::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Sematilide_synthesis.svg" caption="Synthesis of sematilide"] ::
Sematilide can be synthesized from benzocaine (1). Reaction with mesyl chloride, followed by saponification and removal of the water from the reaction mixture, gives sodium 4-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzoate (2). Chlorination with thionyl chloride gives 4-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzoyl chloride. Amide formation with N,N-diethylethylenediamine (3) then concludes the synthesis of sematilide (4).
