EINECS: 245-764-8
Chemical Properties It is white powder or colorless crystalline powder. It has a melting point of 147-149 ℃. It is soluble in ethanol, acetone, and chloroform, but almost insoluble in water. It is odorless, tasteless and subject to rapid decomposition in an acid solution. Clotrimazole hydrochloride has a m.p. of 159 ℃.
Production method It can be obtained from o-benzoic acid via esterification, addition, hydrolysis, chlorination, and condensation. It may also be obtained by chlorination of o-chlorotoluene into o-chloro benzotrichloride, which, in the presence of aluminum chloride, has condensation reaction with benzene to generate diphenyl-(2-chlorophenyl) methyl chloride, which finally has condensation reaction with imidazole to obtain clotrimazole.
