Rearrangement of Sulfonamide Derivatives. VI. Rearrangement Reaction of N-Acetoacetyl-p-methyl-sulfonylbenzenesulfonamide with Alkali.

Abstract

N-Substituted benzenesulfonamide derivatives, which possessed electron attracting group in para-position, treated with 10% NaOH. N-Acetoacetyl-p-methylsulfonylbenzene-sulfonamide underwent the rearrangement reaction to form p-methylsulfonylphenylacetic acid. The other compounds were all hydrolyzed.
