When the title compounds were heated in an evacuated reaction vessel, both transsulfonation and rearrangement occurred.At lower temperatures (80-120 deg C) the corresponding phenylamidosulfates and sulfophenylamidosulfates (transsulfonation products) were the main products.Increasing temperature led to the formation of ring mono- and disulfonates (rearrangement products) at the expense of the transsulfonation products.The sulfonate group always migrated to the ortho and/or para position(s) to the amino group.In no case was any meta-product detected.There was no significant difference in the ease of transsulfonation among the anilinium salts studied exept 2,6-dimethyl- and 2,4,6-trimethylanilinium salts.On the other hand, the ease of rearrangement and the orientation of ring sulfonation depended strongly on the structure of the substrate anilines.The thermal reactions of 2,4,6-trimethylanilinium butylamidosulfate produced (2,4,6-trimethylphenylimido)bis(sulfate) in addition to (2,4,6-trimethylphenylamido)sulfate.This is the first isolation of an arylimidobis(sulfate) from such reactions.Mechanisms of the transsulfonation and rearrangement have been discussed.
