Procedure

225 g of florfenicol was suspended in 330 ml of butyric anhydride in one liter round bottom flask equipped with a over head stirrer and a drying tube. To this suspension was added one ml of perchloric acid, while stirring vigorously, with a pipette. A clear solution was obtained in a few minutes. Stirring was continued for another 3 hours during which the florfenicol butyrate pro-drug was crystallized. The solid product was filtered using a Buckner funnel under vacuum, and washed thoroughly with hexane. The product was finally crystallized in ethanol and the crystallized product was washed with hexane and dried to obtain around 230 g of solid florfenicol butyrate.
