Reaction Steps

2-Chlorobenzenesulphonyl chloride (58 g) in either (60 ml) was added dropwise with stirring to concentrated ammonia solution (575 ml). When addition was complete, the mixture was stirred and heated at 70° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was then cooled and the solid filtered off, washed with water, and dried to give the required 2-chlorobenzenesulphonamide (39 g) with a melting point of 186° C.
