Jamesbenson8888 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hi, I have benzocaine base and I want to convert it to benzocaine hydrochloride. The method I have is to dissolve the base in diethyl ether in one beaker, and in another beaker mix 37% hydrochloric acid with acetone, then combine the two beakers to initialize crystallization. HOWEVER I do not want to use ether because of the safety aspect. Is there something I can substitute for ether? Ethyl acetate perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
