Abstract o-Toluenesulphonamide has been electrolytically oxidized at low current density to saccharine in aqueous solutions of alkali carbonates on anodes coated with NiO(OH). This electrolytic oxidation led to a 40% yield of saccharine. The application of carbon and glassy-carbon counter electrodes or of various supports for the working electrodes did not result in improved saccharine yield. Moreover, the choice of a different potential and a different current density or the use of organic co-solvents did not substantially affect the course of the electrolytic oxidation. In the electrolytic oxidation ofo-toluenesulphonamide a parasitic evolution of oxygen occurred which caused a partial degradation of the starting material. In strongly alkaline media, i.e. in aqueous solutions of alkali hydroxides, a fission of the NH2 group with formation ofo-toluenesulphonate occurred during the electrolysis.
