This document outlines a standard laboratory process to convert phthalimide to potassium phthalimide. It involves heating phthalimide in methanol, then cooling and adding a KOH solution to form potassium phthalimide precipitate. The precipitate is filtered, washed with methanol and acetone, then dried. A second batch is produced by reusing the methanol filtrate. The dried products from both batches are blended and analyzed to confirm less than 0.5% moisture content and identification via NMR.
