Lithium Hydroxide → HCID 21506060, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 3-amino-4-(2-methyl-6-pyridylamino)-5-sulphamyl-benzoic acid (0.5 g) in water (25 ml) was adjusted to a pH of 8 by addition of 1n lithium hydroxide. To the resulting solution, benzyl bromide (0.2 g) was added while, under stirring, the pH was kept at 8 by automatic titration with 1N lithium hydroxide. After the base consumpton had become negligible, the crude 3-benzylamino-4-(2-methyl-6-pyridylamino)-5-sulphamyl-benzoic acid was precipitated from the reaction mixture by adjusting the pH to 5 by means of 1N hydrochloric acid. The compound was collected by suction, recrystallized from aqueous ethanol, and dried. The melting point of the compound was 168°-170°C.
