Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 178484382, compound

N,N-dimethylimidodicarbonimidic diamide hydrochloride (4.01 g, 24.3 mmol) was dissolved in 1N sodium hydroxide (24.2 mL, 24.2 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solution was concentrated in vacuo and to the residue was added ethanol (80 mL). The mixture was carefully concentrated to azeotropically remove water. To the resulting solid was added EtOH (60 mL) and the suspension was filtered to remove precipitated NaCl. The filtrate was concentrated and the resulting solid was placed on high vacuum overnight to yield 3.18 g (102%) of metformin as a white solid.
