Hydrochloric Acid → 5-chloro-1-{1-[3-(1,3-dihydro-2-oxo-2H-benzimidazol-1-yl)propyl]-4-piperidinyl}-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one hydrochloride ethanolate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1 part of 5-chloro-1-{1-[3-(1,3-dihydro-2-oxo-2H-benzimidazol-1-yl)propyl]-4-piperidinyl}-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one in 40 parts of ethanol is acidified with 2-propanol, previously saturated with gaseous hydrogen chloride. While cooling, the formed hydrochloride salt is allowed to crystallize, yielding 1 part (83%) of 5-chloro-1-{1-[3-(1,3-dihydro-2-oxo-2H-benzimidazol-1-yl)propyl]-4-piperidinyl}-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one hydrochloride ethanolate; mp. 213.7° C.
