Participants

Reaction Steps

To 3.75 g (16.8 mmol) of 7-amino-naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid (compound 1) was added 20 mL each of pyridine and acetic anhydride. The reaction was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 24 hours. The black reaction was cooled in an ice bath and then 45 mL of methanol was added slowly. After 1 hour, a solution of sodium methoxide (425 mg of sodium in 10 mL methanol) was added. A precipitate formed. The suspension was allowed to stir for 2 hours and then the solid was collected by vacuum filtration and was washed with ethyl acetate. This provided 4.4 g of compound 130.
