3-Nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride → 8-m-Nitrobenzenesulfonamido-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 21.9 g of 8-amino-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid, trisodium salt and 11.4 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate in 280 ml of water is added 24.0 g of m-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 16 hours, then an additional 1.0 g of sodium carbonate and 2.0 g of m-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride are added and stirring is continued for 3 hours longer. The mixture is evaporated and the residue is dissolved in 200 ml of water. A copious amount of absolute ethanol is added and the solid formed is collected and washed with ethanol and ether, then is dried to yield 26.1 g of 8-m-nitrobenzenesulfonamido-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid, trisodium salt.
