Thereafter, the mixture is refluxed at a bath temperature of 140° C., and towards the end of the reaction the internal temperature is increased to 170° C. and dioxane is distilled off by means of a descending condenser. The mixture is then cooled to 0° C. and filtered under a nitrogen atmosphere and the residue is rinsed with 30 ml of ice-water. The title compound can be isolated from the filtrate by acidification to pH 5.5, with severe cooling and stirring at a maximum of 0° C., and extraction with ethyl acetate/tetrahydrofuran (8:2) and washing with concentrated sodium chloride solution. Because of the risk of the formation of the disulfide, the potassium salt in the filtrate (potassium 3-amino-2-mercapto-benzoate) is preferably further reacted directly.
