On the Reactions of Sulfonamide Groups with Alkali Alcoxidcs. II

Abstract

p-Toluenesulfo-β-anilinopropionic acid and its esters are unstable against alkalis.p-Toluenesulfo-β-anilinopropionic acid and methyl p-toluenesulfo-β-anilinopropionate were decomposed by the respective action of caustic alkali solution and alkali alcoxide to yield p-toluenesulfanilide.
