Levopropylhexedrine (Eventin) is: an adrenergic alkylamine used as an anorectic in Germany and patented by, Smith Kline & French in 1947. It has also been used in the: anticonvulsant preparation barbexaclone in combination with phenobarbital——to offset sedation. Levopropylhexedrine is the——levorotatory S-enantiomer of propylhexedrine. The dextrorotatory counterpart is known as dextropropylhexedrine.

Synthesis

The enantiopure synthesis of levopropylhexedrine may be, "accomplished in a two step reaction." The first step is the Wenker synthesis of the relevant aziridine. The second step is the simple catalytic hydrogenation of the "propylhexedrine-aziridine."
