This mixture was treated with 6.5 g of sodium methoxide and stirred for 30 minutes, then 20 g of ethyl iodide was added. This mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour, then at reflux for 5 hours. The dimethylformamide was removed in vacuo, the residue shaken with 150 ml of water, the mixture adjusted to pH 4 with 10N sodium hydroxide and then cooled to 0° C. The precipitate was collected, washed twice with water and then air dried, giving 31.5 g of N-(3-acetylphenyl)-N-ethyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide.
