The present investigation was undertaken to obtain, not using trial-and-error method but a mathematical one, the optimum for the production of the intermediate in the degradation of chlorothiazide (I). I decomposes to 4-amino-6-chloro-m-benzenedisulfonamide (IV) via consecutive reversible reactions, leading to the formation of N-(2-amino-4-chloro-5-sulfa-moylphenylsulfonyl) formamide (II) in aqueous alkali : [numerical formula]. II has a maximum concentration [II]max at [t]max, and [II]max was affected by the variation of pH. The [II]max had the maximum value of 65% of[I]0 at pH 7.6 by the calculation based on : k1=1.2×10-2min-1, k2=6.5×10-3min-1, and k3=2.0×10-4min-1.
