'''Dimethylthiambutene''' (''N'',''N''-Dimethyl-1-methyl-3,3-di-2-thienylallylamine, '''DMTB''', trade names '''Ohton, Aminobutene, Dimethibutin, Kobaton, Takaton, Dimethibutin''') is an opioid analgesic drug, most often used in veterinary medicine in Japan and to a lesser extent in other countries in the region and around the world. It is the most prominent and widely used of the thiambutenes, a series of open-chain opioids structurally related to methadone which are also called the thienyl derivative opioids which also includes diethylthiambutene and ethylmethylthiambutene, as well as the non-opioid cough suppressant tipepidine.

Dimethylthiambutene was developed in the United Kingdom in the late 1940s and introduced to the market by Burroughs-Wellcome in 1951. Dimethylthiambutene is now under international control under the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961, the laws governing habit-forming substances in virtually all countries and Schedule I of the US Controlled Substances Act of 1970 due to high abuse potential and never being introduced clinically in the United States; other countries regulate it much as morphine or diamorphine. Its DEA ACSCN is 9619 and it had a zero manufacturing quota in 2013. ==Synthesis== class=skin-invert-image|thumb|500px|center|Synthesis:<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Adamson DW | title = 180.

The conjugate addition between Ethyl crotonate [623-70-1][10544-63-5] ('''1''') and dimethylamine gives Ethyl 3-(Dimethylamino)Butanoate [85118-28-1] ('''2'''). Grignard reaction with 2-Bromothiophene [1003-09-4] ('''3''') gives ('''4'''). Dehydration in acid completed the synthesis ('''5''').
