A practical and efficient synthesis of (±)-rivastigmine, which is an acetyl cholinesterase inhibitor of the carbamate family and has been approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in more than 60 countries, was developed in three steps from cheap and commercially available 3-ethylphenol. The key step of the synthesis involved the NBS-promoted benzylic bromination of 3-ethylphenyl ethyl(methyl)carbamate. The target molecular was obtained in 71% overall yield without any traditional purification (column chromatography or crystallization). The reactions include esterification, benzylic bromination, substitution reaction.

Key words: rivastigmine, benzylic bromination, 3-ethylphenol, synthesis, Wohl-Ziegler reaction
