Reaktionsschritte

Mesitylene (1 ml), t-butyl nitrite (1 mmol), N-hydroxyphthalimide (0.2 mmol), and acetic acid (1 ml) were placed in a flask and were stirred at 60° C. in an atmosphere of argon gas (1 atm=0.101 MPa) for 20 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was analyzed to find that 3,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde oxime, 3,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde, 3,5-dimethylbenzonitrile, and 3,5-dimethylphenylmethyl acetate were formed in yields of 61%, 3%, 4%, and less than 1%, respectively.
