Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(4-Acetamidophenoxy)-3-nitro-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The starting material is prepared as follows: The mixture of 14 g of 4-chloro-3-nitro-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid, 200 ml of 1N aqueous sodium bicarbonate and 15.9 g of 4-acetamidophenol is heated to about 95°-100°C for 21 hours while stirring under nitrogen. It is cooled to room temperature and made strongly acidic with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The precipitate formed is filtered off, to yield the 4-(4-acetamidophenoxy)-3-nitro-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid, which after trituration with aqueous ethanol melts at 293° with decomposition.
