Trimethobenzamide Hydrochloride
 Benzamide,N-[[4-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-3,4,5-trimethoxy-,monohydrochloride. N-[p-[2-(Dimethylamino)ethoxy]benzyl]-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide monohydrochloride [554-92-7]. »Trimethobenzamide Hydrochloride,dried at 105  for 4hours,contains not less than 98.5percent and not more than 100.5percent of C21H28N2O5·HCl. 
Packaging and storage
Preserve in well-closed containers.
 
Identification
 
A:Infrared Absorption á197Kñ.
 
B:Ultraviolet Absorption á197Uñ
 
Solution:
20µg per mL.
 
Medium:
0.1Nhydrochloric acid.
 Absorptivities at 258nm,calculated on the dried basis,do not differ by more than 3.0%. 
C:
It meets the requirements of the Thin-layer Chromatographic Identification Test á201ñ.Prepare the test solution by dissolving 10mg of Trimethobenzamide Hydrochloride in 10.0mLof methanol.Apply 10-µLportions of the test solution and the Standard solution to the plate,and develop in a solvent system consisting of a mixture of ethyl acetate,alcohol,and ammonium hydroxide (90:10:5).
 
D:
It meets the requirements of the tests for Chloride á191ñ.
 
Loss on drying á731ñ
Dry it at 105  for 4hours:it loses not more than 0.5%of its weight. 
Residue on ignition á281ñ:
not more than 0.1%.
 
Heavy metals,Method Iá231ñ
Dissolve 1.0g in 20mLof water,add 2mLof 1Nacetic acid,and dilute with water to 25mL:the limit is 0.002%.
 
Assay
Dissolve about 1.3g of Trimethobenzamide Hydrochloride,previously dried and accurately weighed,in 80mLof glacial acetic acid and 15mLof mercuric acetate TS.Titrate with 0.1Nperchloric acid VS,determining the endpoint potentiometrically using suitable electrodes.Perform a blank determination,and make any necessary correction.Each mLof 0.1Nperchloric acid is equivalent to 42.49mg of C21H28N2O5·HCl.
