Acediasulfone (INN) is an antimicrobial drug, which also has antimalarial activity. It is a long-acting prodrug of dapsone, which is used for treating leprosy.

Synthesis

Dapsone is somewhat inconvenient to administer to patients because of its rather low water solubility.

Acediasulfone synthesis: CH 254803  and CH 278482  (1949, 1952, to Cilag Ltd.); Rawlins, U.S. patent 2,589,211 (1952 to Parke-Davis).

In the search for more easily administered drugs, dapsone (1) was reacted with bromoacetic acid to give acediasulfone (2) which can be administered as a water-soluble salt.
