Reaction Steps

10.00 g of metformin hydrochloride and 2.40 g of sodium hydroxide were stirred in 100 ml of ethyl alcohol at 70° C., and the produced inorganic salt was filtered. Then, 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.
