Reaction Steps

Accordingly in the present invention reacting (S)-(-) 9,10-difluoro-3-methyl-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7H-pyrido[1,2,3-de][1,4] benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid with N-methyl piperazine yields crude levofloxacin. Suspending crude levofloxacin in isopropanol, addition of known quantity of water to make-up the water content to about 12% to about 20% followed by precipitation affords the levofloxacin hemihydrate.
