An Improved Process for Trimethobenzamide Hydrochloride

An improved process for the preparation of trimethobenzamide hydrochloride conforming to regulatory specification is reported. Specifically, a process for the preparation of trimethobenzamide hydrochloride, which is free from the associated impurities that are normally encountered during coupling of 4-(2-dimethylaminoethoxy)benzyl amine with 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzoic acid is described.
