Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Reaction scheme II is carried out by slowly adding the cooled reaction mixture into a 4 liter beaker containing 250 ml water and 300 ml of hydrochloric acid (37%), and equipped with an efficient stirrer, taking care that the mixture does not foam over. The dispersion is chilled in a refrigerator over night. The crude N-(p-n-butylphenyl)-o-carbomethoxy benzene sulfonamide settles on the bottom of the beaker as a brownish, viscous mass. The water layer is poured off and replaced by a solution of 80 g sodium hydroxide in 1.5 liter of water. The resulting solution is heated for 2 hours at 85° C. to hydrolize the methyl ester (reaction scheme III). ##STR16##
