Methanol → N-(3-amino-4-chlorophenyl)methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

35.8 g of 4-chloro-1,3-diaminobenzene are stirred thoroughly into 250 ml of water and 50 ml of methanol. 23 ml of methanesulphonyl chloride are added dropwise at 0° C. in the course of about 2 hours; the pH is kept at 4 by dropwise addition of concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture is subsequently stirred at room temperature for about 2 hours and, if appropriate after diluting with water, the 1-chloro-2-amino-4-methanesulphonamido-benzene which has separated out is then filtered off. It is sufficiently pure for further reactions according to Example 59.
