Procedure

Benzamide oxime (5.00 g, 36.7 mmol) was dissolved in acetone (50 mL) at 0° C. The solution was stirred and 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide (4.5 mL) added. An exotherm was noted and a precipitate formed in the reaction mixture. The exotherm lasted for about 15 minutes and the slurry became thick. The solution was warmed to 20° C. and external cooling was added. The 2-thiophenecarbonyl chloride (5.36, 36.7 mmol) was added over 15 minutes maintaining the reaction mixture below 30° C. The reaction was maintained at 30° C. for 15 minutes and the slurry became thinner. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and stirred for 20 additional minutes. Water (50 mL) was added and the resulting solids were stirred for 1 hour. The solids were collected by vacuum filtration, washed with water (2×50 mL) and dried on a Buchner funnel with air flow from vacuum overnight. 3-Phenyl-5-(2-thienyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (6.94 g, 30.4 mmol) was obtained as a white solid (83% yield).
