Procedure

87.5 g. of 4-[(2-methyl-hydrazino)-methyl]-benzoic acid isopropylamide hydrobromide (obtained according to Example 3) were dissolved in 550 ml. of water. To this solution, there were added 1000 ml. of methylene chloride and, while cooling with ice and stirring under nitrogen atmosphere, 1200 g. of potassium carbonate portionwise. The methylene chloride layer was separated and the aqueous slurry extracted 3 times with 500 ml. of methylene chloride in a nitrogen atmosphere. The united methylene chloride extracts were concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved under nitrogen in 100 ml. of methanol and treated, while cooling with ice, with 40 ml. of a 45% methanolic hydrochloric solution, which induces immediate crystallization. The crystals were filtered off and recrystallized from methanol, yielding 4-[(2-methyl-hydrazino)-methyl]-benzoic acid isopropylamide hydrochloride melting at 223°-226°.
