I am trying to develop a simple Organic Chemistry Lab that will teach students on how to conduct Esterification reaction. The catch is that the synthesized molecule should have recognized medicinal value.
I want to synthesize Procaine as it is a widely known as a local anesthetic. However, the lab doesn't have 2-diethylaminoethanol. So, is it possible to do it from Triethanolamine instead?

I doubt the probability of using triethanolamine for synthesis of procaine. It could alter the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics of the drug..
