The reaction mixture is condensed under reduced pressure concentration. Then the reaction mixture is filtered in the presence of chloroform and charcoal. • Neutralization and extraction step is done by mixing reaction mixture with Hydrochloric acid, Sodium hydroxide in drinking water and chloroform followed by dissolution and crystallization to form Crude Levofloxacin. • Crude Levofloxacin is decolorized by ethanol and charcoal which is then recrystallized and centrifuged to form Levofloxacin (Intermediate). Stage III: Preparation of Levofloxacin Levofloxacin (Intermediate) undergoes dissolution and decoloration in presence of ethanol and charcoal followed by recrystallization and centrifugation to form Levofloxacin. Stage IV: Drying and Packaging The final product is dried, crushed and analyzed followed by inner packaging and outer packaging. Fig. 18 The chemical synthetic route from Levofloxacin and ethyl ester (i.e. starting material to Levofloxacin …show more content…
