Reaction Steps

A suspension of 40 g N,N-Dimethyl 2-aminosulfonyl-4-nitrobenzamide (VIII), sodium molybdate (0.08 g) and Pd/C (3 g, 5%, 50% water) in formic acid (200 ml) was hydrogenated at 50° C. and 40 bar for 7 hours. The catalyst was then filtered and washed with formic acid (20 ml). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and ethyl acetate (200 ml) added. After stirring for 2 hours at 20° C. the product was filtered, the filtrate concentrated and re-filtered. The combined solids were washed with ethyl acetate (20 ml) and dries at 50° C./50 mbar. Yield: 35.3 g (=84.3%), 94.1% w/w, mp.: 192-193° C.
