Various N-methylsaccharins were easily prepared in moderate to good yields by the reaction of N-methyl(o-methyl)arenesulfonamides with (diacetoxyiodo)arene in the presence of iodine under irradiation with a tungsten lamp. The present method is very useful for the direct preparation of saccharins with N-methyl(o-methyl)arenesulfonamides containing various substituents on the aromatic ring.
