Hydrochloric Acid → (4-aminophenyl)-N-methylmethylenesulfonamide hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of N-methyl-4-nitrobenzenemethanesulphonamide (30 g) in ethanol (150 ml), water (300 ml) and hydrochloric acid (2N, 65 ml) was hydrogenated over 10% palladium oxide on charcoal (7.5 g, 50% paste with water) until hydrogen uptake ceased (9.75 l). The catalyst was removed by filtration through "hyflo" and the filter pad was washed with water (30 ml). The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a pale yellow powder (28.2 g) m.p. 143°-144° C.
