Reaction Steps

10.0 g of metformin hydrochloride and 2.40 g of sodium hydroxide were stirred in 100 ml of ethylalcohol at a temperature of 70° C., and then methylene chloride was added thereto. The produced inorganic salt was filtered, and ethyl acetate was added thereto, thus preparing metformin free-base. The produced crystal was filtered and dried in hot air, thus obtaining 6.50 g (yield: 83.4%) of metformin free-base.
