Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 23° C. of 4-acetamidobenzenesulfinic acid (57.8 g., 290 mmol), sodium hydroxide (11.6 g, 290 mmol), and sodium dihydrogen phosphate (40.0 g, 290 mmol) was added a solution of methyl acrylate (31.2 g, 362 mmol) in 50 mL of tetrahydrofuran. The reaction vessel was stirred at 23° C. for 18 hours, and the resulting white precipitate was filtered and washed with water. The product was air dried, then recrystallized from 2-butanone to produce 59.4 g (71%) of a white powder, mp 156°-158° C.
