Hydrochloric Acid → Raloxifene Hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 400 ml of tetrahydrofuan, 100 g of raloxifene base was charged and 150 ml of hydrogen chloride gas in isopropyl alcohol was added at 5-10° C. (over a time period of about 1 hour). The reaction mass was stirred at 25-30° C. for 15 minutes, heated to 30-35° C. and maintained for 1 hour. The reaction mass was cooled to 0-5° C. and maintained for 30 minutes. The material was filtered, washed with chilled tetrahydrofuran followed by chilled methanol and vacuum dried for 30 minutes. The material was further dried under vacuum initially at 40-45° C. for about 2 hours and then at 50-55° C. for 8 hours.
