Tolazoline (1-benzylimidazoline), a representative imidazoline-containing drug, reacts readily with nitrite in acetic acid to produce a complex product mixture. Fourteen compounds have been identified as products of this transformation when an 8-fold excess of HNO2is used. The products, which includeN-nitrosoamides, esters, alcohols, and phenylacetic acid, are rationalized as arising from a cascade of reactive diazonium ions.N-Nitrosotolazoline can be isolated from the nitrosation reaction in good yield when the mixture is extracted with CH2Cl2as the transformation progresses. It nitrosates much more rapidly (50×) than tolazoline to give, among other products, the oxime [1-(N-nitroso-2-imidazolinyl)benzylidene]hydroxylamine, which can also be produced in good yield from the reaction of tolazoline with isopropyl nitrite. At low substrate and nitrite concentrations, the main reaction products areN-nitrosotolazoline, its decomposition productN-2-hydroxyethylphenylacetamide, the above-mentioned oxime, phenyl acetic acid, and 2-hydroxyethyl phenylacetate. The tolazoline nitrosation rate in three buffer systems has been determined at pH 3.4 and 37 °C (kobs= 6.25 × 10−5s−1in 0.5 M acetate buffer with a 10 ∗ [NO2−] = 250 mM). BecauseN-nitrosotolazoline exhibits the chemical properties of a direct-acting mutagen and carcinogen, we have used the rate data to estimate its level of formation at nitrite concentrations <3 mM. Cursory examination of the nitrosation chemistry of oxymetazoline, a related drug, is primarily focused at its electron-rich aromatic ring.
