A solution of 25.0 g of 4-toluenesulfonic acid and 95 ml of concentrated nitric acid was heated on a steam bath for 30 minutes during which time the solution turned deep red and gas was evolved. The reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature, poured into 250 ml of water and concentrated. An additional 30 ml of water was added and the solution again concentrated. This procedure was repeated three additional times. The resulting oil was dissolved in 30 ml of water and neutralized with the addition of 11.04 g of sodium bicarbonate. After the bubbling stopped the solution was concentrated to yield a white powder which was triturated with 300 ml of isopropanol, isolated via vacuum filtration and air dried to yield 28.9 g of the desired 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid, sodium salt.
