Reaction Steps

In a sulfonation flask 0.85 g 2-(1-n-butyl-1-methoxymethyleneamino)thiophene-3-carboxylic-acid propylamide are added with stirring to 10 ml absolute pyridine. The internal temperature is then raised to 60° C. and 0.5 g of N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) are added in two portions. After stirring for 1 hour at 60° C., the pyridine is removed in a water jet vacuum. The residue is taken up in ethylacetate and the organic phase is washed twice with water. After drylng of the organic phase, the solvent is removed in a water jet vacuum and the raw material purified by column chromatography over silica gel (eluant:hexane/ethylacetate=3:1). Yield: 0.6 g 5-Chloro-2-(1-n-butyl-1-methoxymethyleneamino)thiophene-3-carboxylic-acid propylamide in the form of brownish crystalls; m.p. 110-112° C.
