Hexachlorophene → HCID 88840042, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A slurry is prepared from 10.2 grams (0.25 mol) of hexachlorophene and 24.8 grams (0.25 mol) of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and intimately mixed in a glass reactor. An exotherm of 8° C. is evidenced and a solid product is formed which is the N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone hexachlorophene complex. The slurry is melted at about 120° C. and then stirred for 15 minutes. On cooling, a crystalline solid is obtained. The crystals are dissolved in hexane-toluene (50/50) solvent and separated by decantation and evaporation.
