N-Methyl zonisamide is a drug that is an impurity in Zonisamide. It is an analog of the drug and has been used as a research and development standard for Zonisamide. N-Methyl zonisamide can be synthesized from the corresponding nitrobenzene, aminobenzene, and formaldehyde. The synthesis can be performed by converting nitrobenzene to aminobenzene with sodium hydroxide in methanol, followed by conversion to N-methyl zonisamide with formaldehyde in ethanol.
