Procedure

Clopidogrel base (2.96 g) was dissolved in isopropanol (45 mL). Aqueous sulfuric acid (98%, 0.50 ml) was added to the solution at 20° C. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux temperature for 2 hours. Then, the solution was cooled to room temperature and stirred at this temperature for an additional 2 hours to obtain a white precipitate. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with isopropanol (2×10 ml) and dried at 50° C. in a vacuum oven for 28 hours to obtain 2.78 g (71%) of clopidogrel hydrogensulfate crystal Form IV.
