Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 772300, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 4-chlorobenzamidoxime (1.24 g, 7.25 mmol) was dissolved in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (10.0 mL) and water (1.0 mL). A 40% aqueous solution of benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (100 uL) and 50% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (736 mg, 9.20 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred and a precipitate formed. Furoyl chloride (1.24 g, 7.25 mmol) was added dropwise and an exotherm was noted. The mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 1 hour and cooled to room temperature. The solution was poured into water (25 mL) and the 2-methyltetrahydrofuran removed at reduced pressure. The resulting solids were isolated by vacuum filtration. The 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(2-furanyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1.22 g, 4.94 mmol) was obtained as a white solid. (68% yield).
