Procedure
Thionyl chloride (21 ml) was added to methanol at 10° C. and the solution stirred for 0.5 hours before being added to 4-chloro-2-(methylsulphonylamino)benzoic acid (11.1 g). The mixture was heated under reflux conditions for 2 days after which time a further addition of thionyl chloride (6 ml) was made and reflux resumed for a further 2 days. The solvent was evaporated to dryness, water added and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with sodium hydroxide solution (2N) then with water, dried (magnesium sulphate) and evaporated to dryness to give methyl 4-chloro-2-(methylsulphonylamino)benzoate (3.85 g) as a cream solid, NMR (CDCl3) 3.25(s,3H), 3.9(s,3H), 7.3(dd,1H), 7.6(m,1H), 7.95(d,1H), 10.2(brs,1H).
