Ammonia → 2-(2-Chloroethoxy)benzene-1-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A process according to claim 8, wherein the compound of formula IV is treated with 1 equivalent of chlorosulfonic acid or with a slight excess thereof in cyclohexane or n-decane at a temperature between +20° C. and +60° C.; neutralized with aqueous sodium hydroxide at a temperature between +50° C. and +90° C.; dechlorinated with hydrogen in the presence of an acid acceptor, in the pressure range from 1 to 5 bar at a temperature between +20° C. and +70° C. and in the presence of a 5% palladium on carbon catalyst; converted to the sulfonic acid chloride by treatment of the mixture with phosgene at a temperature between +60° C. and +120° C.; and subsequently reacted to the final product by treatment of the reaction mixture with an aqueous solution of ammonia.
