Reaction Steps

A solution of 4.0 g (11.8 mmol) of N-(2-chloro-6-methylphenyl)-6-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine-2-sulfonamide in 120 ml of water containing 2.7 g (49 mmol) of potassium hydroxide. To this solution was added 14 ml of 35 percent aqueous hydrogen peroxide via dropwise addition. A mild exotherm resulted and the rate of addition of the oxidant was used to keep the temperature between 30°-35°. After 1 h the light yellow solution was acidified with 6N aqueous HCl and excess oxidant decomposed by addition of sodium sulfite until a negative peroxide paper test was achieved. The resulting solid was collected and again dissolved in 50 ml of ethanol and a minimum amount of aqueous saturated bicarbonate. The solution was acidified with aqueous HCl to afford 3.0 g (80 percent) of product as a white powder; mp 291°-300° C. decomposition.
