Dextromethorphan hydrobromide monohydrate → Dextromethorphan

Participants

Reaction Steps

The salt is prepared by adding silver nitrate (0.96 g, 5.68 mmoles) to a solution of Dextromethorphan hydrobromide (2 g, 5.68 mmoles) in acetonitrile (20 ml) . The solution is then stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Filtering is then effected to remove silver bromide precipitate. The clear solution is added of ethyl ether (110 ml). A precipitate is formed, that is filtered, washed with ethyl ether and dried under vacuum. The solid obtained at the elemental analysis corresponds to the nitrate salt of Dextromethorphan:
