Ortho-sulfobenzoic anhydride is synthesized by pyrolysis of the 2-sulfochloride benzoates. The benzoate intermediates are readily prepared by reacting either the esters of dithiodibenzoic acid with chloride water or the 2-diazonium chloride benzoates with sulfur dioxide. The invention also provides for the total synthesis of saccharin, free of bitter tasting contaminants, from such reactants, the ultimate step in such synthesis being the ammonolysis of the o-sulfobenzoic anhydride.
