Benzoic Acid → HCID 178422259, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a clear solution (50° C.) of 100 g olanzapine free base in 2000 ml ethyl acetate, was added slowly a clear solution of 39.2 g benzoic acid in 250 ml ethyl acetate while stirring mechanically. When almost all benzoic acid was added, the crystallization process started (T=50-55° C.). The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature while stirring. The pale yellow crystals were isolated by filtration and dried overnight at 40° C. in vacuum. Isolated yield: 130.1 gram (94%). 1H-NMR confirms the molar ratio of olanzapine:acid=1:1. DSC: peak at 222.99° C.
