Abstract: Acesulfame-K is a widely used sweetener in food and beverage. It is prepared by using the substituted sodium phenoxide or substituted phenol as the starting substance to synthesize the following three intermediates: a substituted phenoxide sulfonylchloride(I), a substituted phenoxide sulfonylamide(II) and an acetoacetamide-N-sulfonyl-substituted phenoxide(III). Particularly, II was prepared by using the liquid or gaseous ammonia to react with I under the action of some catalysts in a reaction column. III was prepared by using II to react with diketene. Acesulfame-K was prepared by ring-closure in III with methanol solution of KOH or K2CO3.
