Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

At -10° C., 2 g (0.019 mol) of tert-butyl nitrite are added dropwise to 30 ml of ethyl acetate which is saturated with dry hydrogen chloride, and the mixture is stirred at this temperature for 15 minutes. At -10° C., 1.6 g (0.0098 mol) of benzofuran-3-one O-methyl-oxime dissolved in 5 ml of ethyl acetate are then added, the temperature is allowed to increase to 0° C. and the mixture is stirred at this temperature for 30 minutes. The crystalline product is filtered off, affording 1.08 g of crystalline benzofuran-2,3-dione 3-(O-methyl-oxime) 2-oxime as a mixture of two stereoisomers comprising, according to HPLC analysis, 54.7% (56% of theory) of isomer B and 42.9% of isomer A.
