Methanol → Methyl-7-sulfamoyl-1,4-benzodioxane-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

429 g of methanol were introduced into a balloon flask provided with a condenser and then, under cooling, 54 g of 93% sulfuric acid and 111 g of 7-sulfamoyl-1,4-benzodioxane-5-carboxylic acid were added. The mixture was heated under reflux and then cooled. The crystals were dried off, washed with methanol and then treated with 500 cm3 of water and 5 g of sodium carbonate. The precipitate was dried off, washed with water and dried. 95 g of methyl-7-sulfamoyl-1,4-benzodioxane-5-carboxylate were obtained (M.P.: 225°-226° C.; yield: 81%).
