Sodium Hydroxide → 4-[(4-Aminophenyl)sulfanyl]-3-(butylamino)-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture of 2.8 g of 4-(4-acetamidophenylmercapto)-3-n-butylamino-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid and 28 ml of 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide is refluxed for 1 hour under nitrogen. After cooling to room temperature it is filtered, the filtrate acidified with glacial acetic acid to a pH of 4-5, the precipitate formed filtered off, washed with water and recrystallized from 50% aqueous ethanol, to yield the 4-(4-aminophenylmercapto)-3-n-butylamino-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid of the formula ##SPC11##
