Abstract:
A process for producing acesulfame potassium, the process comprising the steps of providing a cyclizing agent composition comprising a cyclizing agent and a solvent and having an initial temperature, cooling the cyclizing agent composition to form a cooled cyclizing agent composition having a cooled temperature less than 35° C., reacting an acetoacetamide salt with the cyclizing agent in the cooled cyclizing agent composition to form a cyclic sulfur trioxide adduct composition comprising cyclic sulfur trioxide adduct; and, forming from the cyclic sulfur trioxide adduct in the cyclic sulfur trioxide adduct composition the finished acesulfame potassium composition comprising non-chlorinated acesulfame potassium and less than 39 wppm 5-chloro-acesulfame potassium. The cooled temperature is at least 2° C. less than the initial temperature.

Claim (Index 22):
The process of  claim 21 , wherein contact time from the beginning of the contacting step to the beginning of the reacting step (e) is less than 15 minutes, and wherein the cooled cyclizing agent composition has a cooled temperature less than 25\u00b0 C. and the crude acesulfame potassium composition comprises from 1 wppb to 39 wppm 5-chloro-acesulfame potassium and the finished acesulfame potassium composition comprises from 1 wppb to 5 wppm 5-chloro-acesulfame potassium.
