Reaction Steps

The sulfonamide intermediate of Example 4 (6.9 g, 0.025 mole) was added to a solution of 6.3 ml of concentrated nitric acid in 50 ml of water, followed by addition of 50 ml of glacial acetic acid and 0.18 g of sodium nitrite. The mixture was heated at reflux for one hour, then poured into 100 ml of water. The crude product thus isolated was recrystallized from ethanol to give 6.5 g of the title compound. Structure assignment was supported by the nmr spectrum and by elemental analysis.
