Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chloro-3-nitro-5-sulphamyl-benzoic acid (14 g), p-methoxyphenol (9.3 g), and 1N sodium bicarbonate (200 ml) was stirred at 90° C for 5 hours. After cooling, the resulting 4-(p-methoxyphenoxy)-3-nitro-5-sulphamyl-benzoic acid was precipitated by the addition of 4N hydrochloric acid until the pH was 1, and collected by suction. The crude acid was dissolved in hot methanol (100 ml) and precipitated by the addition of water (100 ml) and cooling. After collection and drying in vacuo, the melting point was 229°-230° C.
