Reaktionsschritte

Lorazepam ethanol solvate (100 g) was suspended in a 1:1 mixture of ethyl acetate and toluene (400 ml). The suspension was heated to 60° C. for 1 hour with rapid stirring and then cooled to 15° C. The suspension was filtered to recover the lorazepam. The lorazepam crystals were then washed with ethyl acetate (20 ml) and dried under 65 mm Hg vacuum at about 50° C. for about two hours to give crystalline lorazepam (83 g) in 88% yield.
