Reaction Steps

(E)-2-(5-((2,4,6-Trimethoxystyrylsulfonyl)methyl)-2-methoxyphenylamino)acetic acid (15 g, 0.032 mol) is dissolved in ethanol (150 ml) and 1N NaOH (1.28 g in 33 ml of water, 0.032 mol) is added, adjusted pH to 7.5-8.0 and stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction is cooled to 0° C., and the precipitated solid is collected by filtration, washed with cold ethanol, and finally with hexane and dried under vacuum to give (E)-2-(5-((2,4,6-trimethoxystyrylsulfonyl)methyl)-2-methoxyphenylamino)acetic acid sodium salt (13 g, 84%).
