Reaktionsschritte

Reflux a mixture of (3-bromothiophen-2-yl)-(3-methoxyphenyl)methanone oxime (10 g, 0.032 mol), KOH (3.6 g, 0.064 mol dissolved in 10 mL water) and 2-ethoxyethanol (100 mL) under nitrogen for one hour at 105–110° C. Add copper chloride (0.16 g, 0.0016 mol) whereupon the reaction mixture becomes dark brown in color. Heat the reaction for an additional one hour. Add water and extract the organics into ether. Wash the ether phase with water, dry (MgSO4), filter and concentrate to yield an oil. Purify the oil by column (alumina) chromatography, and elute with 15% ether in hexane to obtain white crystals. Recrystallize the crystals from ether:hexane to yield the title compound (5 g, 68% Yield), m.p. 51–52° C.
