A solution of 16.6 g of 7-chloro-2,3-dihydro-1,2-benzisothiazole-1,1-dioxide in 85 mls of dry dimethylformamide was cooled and treated with 10 g of potassium t-butoxideat such a rate that the temperature remained below 6° C. The resulting suspension was stirred at 5° to 10° C. for 30 minutes, treated with 6.1 mls of methyl iodide at 10° to 15°C. and stirred at room temperature for 16 hours.
