Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4.3 Parts of sarcosine and 4.1 parts of sodium hydroxide are dissolved in 100 parts of water. To the resulting solution, 35 parts of chloroform containing 10 parts of p-chlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride is added, and the resulting mixture is stirred at 60° C for about 2 hours. After the reaction, the aqueous layer is separated and then acidified with hydrochloric acid to precipitate crystals. The crystals are collected by filtration and recrystallized from a mixed solvent comprising acetone and water to obtain 4.6 parts of N-p-chlorobenzenesulfonyl-sarcosine, m.p. 180.5°-182° C.
