Abstract

A continuous end-to-end synthesis and purification of diphenhydramine hydrochloride featuring atom economy and waste minimization is described. Combining a 1 [thin space (1/6-em)]:[thin space (1/6-em)] 1 molar ratio of the two starting material streams ( chlorodiphenylmethane and N, N-dimethylaminoethanol) in the absence of additional solvent at high temperature gives the target compound directly as a molten salt (ionic ...
