Sodium Bicarbonate → 2-(2-Formamidothiazol-4-yl)-2-[(3-isoxazolyl)methoxyimino]acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)glyoxylic acid (5 g.), (3-isoxazolyl)methoxyamine hydrochloride (4.53 g.), sodium bicarbonate (4.2 g.) and water (200 ml.) was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, while keeping at pH 5.0. After removing the insoluble substance from the resultant mixture by filtration, the filtrate was adjusted to pH 1.5 with 10% hydrochloric acid and stirred at 5° C. for 30 minutes. The precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give 2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)-2-[(3-isoxazolyl)methoxyimino]acetic acid (syn isomer, 5.68 g.), mp. 110° C. (dec.).
