Methylphenobarbital is used as a sedative, anxiolytic and anticonvulsant. It is the N-methylated analogue of phenobarbital, and has similar indications, therapeutic value, and tolerability. Mephobarbital (5-ethyl-1-methyl-5-phenylbarbituric acid) is synthesized according to one of the diagrams used for the phenobarbital synthesis, except one uses methylurea instead.

Uses of Methylphenobarbital: it can be used to produce 5-ethyl-1-methyl-5-phenyl-tetrahydro-pyrimidin-2-one by heating. This reaction will need reagents LiAlH₄, AlCl₃ and solvent diethyl ether. The yield is about 92%.
