Methylpentynol (Methylparafynol, Dormison, Atemorin) is a tertiary hexanol with hypnotic/sedative and anticonvulsant effects. It was discovered by Bayer in 1913[1] and was used shortly thereafter for the treatment of insomnia, but its use was quickly phased out in response to newer drugs with far more favorable safety profiles.[2][3][4][5]

Synthesis

Methylpentynol is prepared by reaction of butanone with sodium acetylide.
