Description

Organic compound, monobasic acid. Doesn't form water hydrates.

Precursors

Reaction between sodium saccharinate and sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid

Chemical equation:

2C7H4NaNO3S + H2SO4 = 2C7H5NO3S↓ + Na2SO4
C7H4NaNO3S + HCl = C7H5NO3S↓ + NaCl


For preparation of 100.00g of saccharin а 112.00g of sodium saccharinate and 72.35g of 37% sulfuric acid or 52.38g of 38% hydrochloric acid is required.

Add to the flask with sodium saccharinate solution small parts of acid solution and stir. The large amount of poorly soluble precipitate will form. Settle it out and wash it from soluble impurities few times. Filter precipitate and wash it wish small amount of diethyl ether or DMSO, then filter the solution and use it for crystal growing.

Storage conditions

Store in its original form or under several layers of varnish at average humidity and room temperature. Do not store in matchboxes or cotton wool and do not heat.
