Abstract

The intermediate carboxylic acid V (R= H) was not isolated as it spontaneously decarboxylated to yield I. The relatively low yield (22%) of the condensation reaction is probably due to the instability of 4-chlorophenylsulphonylacetic acid, which partly decarboxylates during the condensation. Baliah and co-workers 6 also report low yields for this type of condensation reaction.
