Procedure

An alternative procedure was also used. To a stirred suspension of 62.74 g (0.47 mol) of AlCl3 in 500 mL of chloroform at 0° C. was added 43.9 g (0.7 mol) of ethanethiol. Within minutes a clear solution formed. To this a solution of 20.0 g (0.078 mol) of 4-isopropyl-6-methoxysaccharin in 550 mL of chloroform was added over a 30-min period. This solution was allowed to warm to RT and stirred for 3-4 hrs. at 60° C. After cooling, the mixture was poured into ice-water and acidified with dilute HCl. The solid which separated was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give 18.4 g (97%) of 6-hydroxy-4-isopropylsaccharin.
