Sodium Hydroxide → Sulfometuron

참여 물질

반응 단계

A mixture of 2.0 g of N-[(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfonamide and 11 ml. of 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide was warmed on a steam bath with shaking; 40 ml. of water was added and heating and shaking continued during the next half hour. The resulting solution was then filtered and the filtrate acidified with hydrochloric acid to pH 2 to yield a precipitate which was isolated by filtration to yield the title compound, 0.7 g melting at 160° with decomposition. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum showed resonance peaks for the methyl substituents on the pyrimidine ring at 2.66 ppm and the ring hydrogens at 7.2 to 8.4 ppm. The disappearance of the resonance peak at 4.0 ppm confirmed the conversion of the methyl ester to the carboxy group.
