After cooling to 0°-5°, the precipitated crystalline material is filtered off and recrystallized from methanol. The pure 10-methoxy-4H-benzo[4,5] cyclohepta[1,2-b]thiophen-4-one, having a M.P. of 164°-166°, is obtained in this manner. Microanalysis agrees with the formula C14H10O2S. The structure was ascertained with the nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrograph spectra.
