Hydrochloric Acid → 3-(3-chloro-benzenesulfonylamino)-benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(3-chloro-benzenesulfonylamino)-benzoic acid ethyl ester (4.03 g, 12.0 mmol) in ethanol (20.0 ml) was treated with 3N KOH (12.0 ml) and stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was then acidified with 3N HCl and the resulting slurry cooled to 0° C. The precipitated solid was filtered, washing with ethanol and dried under vacuum, yielding 3-(3-chloro-benzenesulfonylamino)-benzoic acid (2.61 g, 70%) as an off-white solid, MS (ISP): m/e=310.0 (M−H).
