Participants

Reaction Steps

A slurry of 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde (45.6 g, 299 mM) in NaOH (138 ml, 15% aqueous solution) is treated with benzenesulfonyl chloride (66 g, 373 mM) and the mixture vigorously stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is then poured into ice-water (500 ml) and the resulting white solid filtered, washed with cold water, and then recrystallized from acetic acid to afford the product as a white solid; yield 72.2 g (85%); m.p. 119°-120° C.
