Reaktionsschritte

163 g (1 mole) 93.5% trimethylpyruvic acid sodium salt and 69.5 g (1 mole) hydroxylamine hydrochloride were dissolved at 40° C. in 450 ml water. The product crystallized out during slow cooling under agitation. After 1.5 h agitation in an ice bath the crystals were filtered off, washed with 150 ml ice water, dried in a vacuum at 60° C., and then further dried in a vacuum desiccator over phosphorus pentaoxide to constant weight. 117.8 g trimethylpyruvic acid oxime (81% yield) in the form of colorless crystals were obtained.
