Abstract Five new saccharin derivatives were prepared: 4-nitrosaccharin, 4-aminosaccharin, 4-acetamidosaccharin, 2-ethyl-4-nitrosaccharin, and 2-n-propyl-4-nitrosaccharin. Attempts to prepare 5-nitrosaccharin, using procedures described in the literature, gave instead a mixture of two nitrosaccharins, which was shown to consist of the known 6-nitrosaccharin plus 4-nitrosaccharin identical to the above compound. The new saccharin derivatives ...
