Manufacturing Process |
35 parts of hexamethylene bis-dicyandiamide, 35 parts of p-chloroaniline hydrochloride and 250 parts of β-etoxyethanol are stirred together at 130- 140°C for 2 hours under reflux. The mixture is then cooled and filtered. The solid is washed with water and crystallised from 50% aqueous acetic acid. 1,1'-Hexamethylene bis(5-(p-chlorophenyl)biguanide) is obtained as colorless plates, melting point 258-260°C. By addition of D-gluconic acid to aqueous solution of chlorhexidine base is prepared 1,1'-hexamethylenebis(5-(pchlorophenyl)biguanide)digluconate (1:2). |
