Fetal trimethadione syndrome

If administered during pregnancy, fetal trimethadione syndrome may result causing facial dysmorphism (short upturned nose, slanted eyebrows), cardiac defects, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), and mental retardation. The fetal loss rate while using trimethadione has been reported to be as high as 87%.[1]

Chemistry

Trimethadione, 3,5,5-trimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione, may be synthesized by methylating 5,5-trimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione with dimethylsulfate. Starting 5,5-trimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione is in turn synthesized by the cyclocondensation of the ester of 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid with urea.
