Sodium Carbonate → 8-(5-Nitro-o-toluenesulfonamido)-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 17.0 g of 8-amino-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid, trisodium salt, 17.5 g of the preceding compound and 7.8 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate in 210 ml of water is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours, then an additional 0.5 g of sodium carbonate and 1.0 g of 5-nitro-o-toluenesulfonyl chloride is added and stirring is continued for 18 hours longer. The reaction mixture is evaporated and 100 ml of water is added with stirring. The mixture is filtered and 900 ml of absolute ethanol is added to the filtrate with stirring. The mixture is stirred for 2 hours, then the precipitate is collected and is washed with ethanol and ether and is dried to yield 20.8 g of 8-(5-nitro-o-toluenesulfonamido)-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid, trisodium salt.
