Mode opératoire

1.5 g of levofloxacin crude and 36 mg of ascorbic acid were put in suspension in 9.5 ml of n-BuOH under inert atmosphere. The mixture was heated to reflux temperature and a hot filtration was performed. The solution was then evaporated to dryness and n-BuOH (10 ml) was added. The mixture was heated to reflux until complete dissolution and then cooled to RT over a period of 1.5 hour. The precipitate was filtrated under vacuum, washed with n-BuOH (4 ml) and dried at 60° C. in a vacuum oven to give 840 mg (56%) of purified levofloxacin hemihydrate.
