Step 1: The crude plant preparation is partitioned between benzene and aqueous base ephedrine is shown in red). Step 2: The organic phase is extracted with aqueous acid. Step 3: Base is added to the aqueous phase to free-base ephedrine; the next step is extraction of the free base into organic solvent and evaporation to solid ephedrine. Step 4: Recrystallization as the oxalate salt. Photo by Lazare Gagnidze/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0
