Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 54331480, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture of 2.3 g of 4-(4-acetamidophenylmercapto)-3-furfurylamino-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid and 23 ml of 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide is refluxed for 1 hour under nitrogen. After cooling to room temperature it is acidified to pH = 5 and the precipitate formed filtered off. It is dissolved in 25 ml of 50% hot aqueous ethanol, the solution cooled to room temperature and decanted from some amorphous substance. The supernatant solution is allowed to stand at room temperature for a longer period of time, the precipitate formed filtered off and this rcrystallization procedure repeated several times, to yield the 4-(4-aminophenylmercapto)-3-furfurylamino-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid, starting to melt at about 125°.
