The mixture is poured into 4 l of ice-water, the precipitate is filtered off and the residue is heated at 70° C. for 3 hours in 700 ml of toluene. Subsequent purification by flash chromatography yields 6.5 g (34%) of ethyl thieno[2,3-c][1,2,5]oxadiazole-5-carboxylate-1-oxide and -3-oxide, m.p. 72°-74° C.
