hi
I'm trying to synthesis nordazepam, which is synthesized from 2-amino-5-chloro-benzophenone and glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride in pyridine, it must be distilled with pyridine (and the fresh pyridine should be added to reaction mixture) to collect 2.5 times of the pyridine, I have performed the reaction 2 times and I have the same product with a big different in their purity
, at first I tried to perform all the reaction process in one day, the obtained product was simply purified with benzene and petroleum ether and washing with acetone.
but in the second time I did the same but in 2 day, I mean I had to turn off the heater and continue the process tomorrow, I gained the same product but I can not purify it as simply as the first, when I wash it with the mentioned solvents above I obtain a solid with white and orange particles, the orange particles was not dissolved in acetone or benzene and petroleum ether, what should I do?
