Procedure

10.0 g of fexofenadine base were suspended in acetonitrile (76 g), and 1.9 g of a 38.6 percent solution of hydrogen chloride in methanol were added at −10 to −12° C. The reaction mixture was heated at the reflux temperature for 1 h and then cooled. The hydrochloride was isolated by filtration, washed with acetonitrile and dried under vacuum at 100° C. to give 10.1 g (94%) of fexofenadine hydrochloride, form A.
