Hydrochloric Acid → N-[(4-Methoxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-carboxybenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.0 g of N-[(4-methoxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfonamide was dissolved in a mixture of 20 ml of absolute ethanol, 2.5 ml of water and 2.5 g of potassium hydroxide. After stirring at 25° for 24 hours the mixture had become a semi-solid mass. Enough cold water was added to dissolve the solid and the solution was acidified to pH 3 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The resultant precipitate was isolated by filtration and washed with cold water. The precipitate was dried to afford 3.7 g of the title compound, melting at 195°-200°. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum exhibited resonances for the methyl and methoxy substituents on the pyrimidine ring at 2.67 ppm and 4.20 ppm respectively.
