Temperature: -5 °C

Procedure

1.5 g of levofloxacin crude was put in suspension in 15 ml of MEK. The mixture was heated to reflux temperature until complete dissolution of the material. Then the solution was cooled to −5° C. over a period of 3 hours. The precipitate was filtrated under vacuum, washed with 1.5 ml of MEK and dried at 30° C. in a vacuum oven to give 840 mg (84%) of purified levofloxacin hemihydrate.
