Reaction Steps

From a solution of the sodium salt of 4-[(2-hydroxyethyl)aminosulfonyl]benzoylacetaldehyde in 500 ml. of water (prepared from 41.3 g. of sodium methoxide in 400 ml. of tetrahydrofuran, 56.6 g. of ethyl formate, and a solution of 56.5 g. of 4-acetyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-benzenesulfonamide in 700 ml. of tetrahydrofuran) and 29.7 g. of cyanoacetamide, there is obtained 6-[4-[2-hydroxyethyl)aminosulfonyl]phenyl]-1,2-dihydro-2-oxonicotinonitrile; m.p. 283°-286° C. after crystallization from methanol-dimethylformamide.
