Abstract
Abstract o,o'-Dithiodibenzoic acids are prepared by a process wherein a diazotized anthranilic acid or anthranilate is reacted with sulfur dioxide in the presence of an acid, water and a copper salt, and if desired in the presence of an alkali metal iodide, in a 1st stage at from 20° to 50° C. and then in a 2nd stage at from 80° to 100° C. The o,o'-dithiodibenzoic acids obtainable by the process of the invention are useful starting materials for the preparation of crop protection agents, dyes and drugs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
In a process for the preparation of o,o'-dithiodibenzoic acid of the formula ##STR5## where the individual radicals R 1 may be identical or different and are each hydrogen, halogen, nitro, --SO 3 H or alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, by reaction of a diazotized anthranilic acid derivative with sulfur dioxide in the presence of an acid, water and a catalyst for destroying the diazonium salt, the improvement which comprises: reacting a diazonium salt of an anthranilic acid of the formula ##STR6## or a diazonium salt of an anthranilate of the formula ##STR7## where R 1 has the above meanings and R 2 is alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, with said sulfur dioxide in the presence of said acid and water and in the presence of a copper salt as the essential catalyst destroying the diazonium salt in a 1st stage at from 20° to 50° C. and then in a 2nd stage at from 80° to 100° C.
