Participants

Reaction Steps

3.92 g (0.035 mol) of potassium tert-butoxide are dissolved in 40 ml of tert-butanol. A solution of 5.7 g (0.035 mol) of benzofuran-3-one O-methyl-oxime and 7.2 g (0.07 mol) of tert-butyl nitrite in 10 ml of tert-butanol is added to this solution. The mixture is stirred without cooling for two hours and then admixed with 20 ml of 2N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The crystalline product is filtered off, washed repeatedly with water and dried in a desiccator. 3.19 g (47.1% of theory) of benzofuran-2,3-dione 3-(O-methyl-oxime) 2-oxime are obtained as a mixture of two stereoisomers comprising 86.33% of isomer A and 12.98% of isomer B (HPLC).
