Reaction Conditions:
with sodium hydroxide in water;acetone at 55 - 60; for 1 h;
Steps:
Liberation and isolation of Medetomidine free base
Medetomidine x HCl, 783g, 3.31 mol, is dissolved in 2.5L water. Charcoal, 40g, is added and the mixture stirred for 30 minutes at 70°C. The charcoal is filtered and washed with 0.5L water. The combined filtrate and washing is diluted with 3.1 L acetone and 0.2L water. The temperature is adjusted to 55-60°C and a solution of 132g, 3.3 mol, sodium hydroxide in 0.54L water is added over ca 1h. The resulting emulsion is cooled to ca 40°C and crystallization is induced by seeding. The slurry is cooled to 0°C, filtered and the filter cake washed with 3 x 400 ml water. Drying under vacuum afforded 590g, 2.95 mol, 89%, of Medetomidine free base.
