Participants

Reaction Steps

27.5 Parts of N-cyclopentylhydroxylamine hydrochloride is dissolved in 200 parts of dichloromethane; a solution of 33.6 parts of sodium hydrogen carbonate in 300 parts of water is then added. At room temperature and while stirring thoroughly, 31.8 parts of 2,5-dimethylfuran-3-carboxylic chloride is dripped into this mixture. After stirring the mixture for 1 hour the organic phase is separated, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated. The oil which remains soon solidifies and the crystals obtained are stirred with petroleum ether, suction filtered and dried. There is obtained 14.3 parts of N-cyclopentyl-2,5-dimethylfuran-3-hydroxamic acid having a melting point of from 107° to 109° C. ##SPC9##
