Additional Information

Chemical Structure: Benzocaine consists of an aromatic amine group (para-amino group) attached to a benzene ring, with an ethyl ester group. The structure of benzocaine makes it an ester-type local anesthetic, which is why it shares some characteristics with other ester anesthetics like procaine.

Synthesis: Benzocaine is synthesized by esterifying para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) with ethanol in the presence of a catalyst, typically sulfuric acid.
