A mixture of 35 g of 2-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2-thienyl)ethanone and 200 ml of formamide was refluxed under an air condenser for two hours. It was cooled, poured into water and the pH adjusted to 8-9 by adding ammonium hydroxide. Chloroform was added to the solution, and solid separated and was filtered and washed with chloroform; yield 19.3 g. This was recrystallized from dimethylformamide, filtered and washed with acetonitrile; yield 14.7 g, m.p. 244°-245° C.
