RESUMEN
RESUMEN

Introducción:

La N,N-dietil-m-metilbenzamida o N,N-dietil-m-toluamida (DEET), es muy conocida como repelente de insectos. Además, se utiliza para mejorar la administración dérmica y transdérmica de muchos fármacos.

Objetivos:

Presentar un procedimiento factible para sintetizar DEET a partir de ácido m-toluico y dietilamina.

Métodos:

El ácido m-toluico fue activado con 1,1'-carbonil-diimidazol, para obtener el producto intermedio 1- (m-toluoil) imidazol que continúa reaccionando con dietilamina, para producir DEET. De este modo, se mejoran los factores que afectan la síntesis de N, N-dietil-m-toluamida.

Resultados:

Se obtuvo DEET mediante un procedimiento óptimo. Los subproductos de la reacción son solubles en agua; se eliminan fácilmente mediante el método de extracción líquido-líquido con agua y diclorometano. La mayor parte del DEET obtenido tiene gran pureza. Los rendimientos fueron del 94 al 95 %.

Conclusiones:

Se ha proporcionado una ruta mejorada para una síntesis simple y eficaz de DEET a partir de ácido m-toluico y dietilamina en presencia de 1,1'-carbonil-diimidazol. El procedimiento de síntesis se realizó en un solo reactor y el aislamiento de DEET se logró mediante extracción líquido-líquido. El tiempo total de procedimiento se redujo significativamente. Este método de síntesis es fácilmente escalable y factible industrialmente.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

N, N-diethyl-m-methylbenzamide or N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), is well known as an insect repellent. In addition, it is used to improve the dermal and transdermal delivery of many drugs.

Objectives:

To present a feasible procedure to synthesize DEET from m-toluic acid and diethylamine.

Methods:

The m-toluic acid was activated with 1,1'-carbonyl-diimidazole, to obtain the intermediate product 1- (m-toluoyl) imidazole that continues to react with diethylamine, to produce DEET. In this way, the factors affecting the synthesis of N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide are improved.

Results:

DEET was obtained through an optimal procedure. The by-products of the reaction are soluble in water; they are easily removed by the liquid-liquid extraction method with water and dichloromethane. Most of the DEET obtained has high purity. The yields were 94 to 95 %.

Conclusions:

An improved route has been provided for a simple and efficient synthesis of DEET from m-toluic acid and diethylamine in the presence of 1,1'-carbonyl-diimidazole. The synthesis procedure was carried out in one-pot, and the isolation of DEET was achieved by liquid-liquid extraction. The total procedure time was significantly reduced. This synthesis method is easily scalable and industrially feasible.
