Reaction Steps

Fischer (Ber., Vol. 15, 62 (1882) described already in 1882 the sulfonation of pyridine with concentrated sulfuric acid at 300° to 350° C. and after a reaction time of 24 hours, pyridine-3-sulfonic acid could be isolated with a yield of 50%. Subsequent investigations had the goal to produce the acid under milder reaction conditions in a shorter reaction time with a higher yield.
