The obtained mixture is then stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature and 121 g 10-methoxy-4H-benzo[4,5]cyclohepta[1,2-b]thiophen-4-one dissolved with warming in 0.9 l dimethylformamide are then added in a single portion. The obtained reaction mixture is stirred for ca. 17 hours at ca. 95° C. under argon, and then stirred into a mixture of 7 l H2O/3 kg ice and 50 ml conc. HCl covered with a layer of 2 l ethylacetate. The organic phase is separated off and the aqueous phase extracted 3× with 2 l and 3× with 1 l ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases are washed 3× with 2 l H2O and 3× with 2 l saline, dried with MgSO4, filtered under suction and concentrated on a rotary evaporator to yield the title compound as a (Z,E)-isomer mixture: m.p.=91°-93° C.
