Participants

Reaction Steps

396 g of methanol were introduced into a balloon flask provided with a condenser and then 51 g of sulfuric acid and 114.5 g of 8-methoxy-7-sulfamoyl-1,4-benzodioxane-5-carboxylic acid were added while cooling. The mixture was heated under reflux and then poured into 485 cm3 of water and 40 g of sodium carbonate. The precipitate was dried off, washed and dried. 110.5 g of methyl-8-methoxy-7-sulfamoyl-1,4-benzodioxane-5-carboxylate were obtained (M.P.: 202°-203° C.; yield: 92%).
