Claims
- 1. A process for the preparation of 6-methyl-3,4-dihydro1,2,3-oxathiazin-4-one 2,2-dioxide which comprises ring closure of acetoacetamide-N-sulfonic acid or one of its salts - dissolved in an equimolar amount to 20-fold molar excess of SO.sub.3 at a temperature of from -70.degree. C. to +175.degree. C. in a reactor within a reactor hold-up time not exceeding 10 minutes after which the ring closure product is passed on out of the reactor or, in the case where more than the equimolar amount of SO.sub.3 is used, the SO.sub.3 adduct of the ring closure product is passed on for hydrolysis, to yield the 6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-oxathiazin-4-one 2,2-dioxide.
- 2. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reactor hold-up time is 0,001 to 60 seconds.
- 3. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reactor hold-up time is 0,01 to 10 seconds.
- 4. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ring closure is carried out at a temperature of from -30 to +100.degree. C.
- 5. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the SO.sub.3 is additionally dissolved in an inert solvent.
- 6. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the SO.sub.3 is dissolved in the same inert solvent as is used for dissolving acetoacetamide-N-sulfonic acid or one of its salts.
- 7. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the salt of acetoacetamide-N-sulfonic acid is selected from the group comprising salts of lithium, ammonium, mono-, di and trialkylammonium, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
- 8. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein triethylammonium acetoacetamide-N-sulfonate is used.
- 9. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inert solvent is a chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon.
- 10. The process as claimed in claim 9, wherein the solvent is methylene chloride.
- 11. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ring closure reaction is carried out in a thin-film, falling film or spray reactor or in a flow tube with or without fittings inside.
- 12. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the heat liberated in the ring closure reaction is dissipated by evaporation of the solvent.
- 13. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein more than equimolar amount of SO.sub.3 is used, based on the amount of acetoacetamide-N-sulfonic acid, and the hydrolysis is carried out at -10 to +100.degree. C.
- 14. The process as claimed in claim 13, wherein a 3- to 10-fold molar excess of SO.sub.3 is used.
- 15. The process as claimed in claim 13, wherein the hydrolysis is carried out immediately after completion of the ring closure reaction and in a reactor within a reactor hold-up time not exceeding 10 minutes.
- 16. The process as claimed in claim 15, wherein the holdup time of the reactor for the hydrolysis is 0.001 to 60 seconds.
- 17. The process as claimed in claim 15, wherein the holdup time is 0.01 to 10 seconds.
- 18. The process as claimed in claim 15, wherein the hydrolysis is carried out in an apparatus of the same type as the ring closure reaction.
- 19. The process as claimed in claim 13, wherein the ring closure and hydrolysis are carried out continuously.
- 20. The process for the preparation of a salt of 6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-oxathiazin-4-one 2,2-dioxide which comprises reacting the product obtained according to claim 1 with a base.
