Reaktionsschritte

Desoxyanisoin (98%, 52.2 g., 0.2 mole) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (15.3 g., 0.22 mole) are slurried in a mixture of methanol (300 ml) and water (200 ml) and sodium hydroxide (16 g., 0.4 mole) is added slowly. The mixture is stirred for 15 minutes, then placed in a hot water bath (70° C.) and stirred an additional hour. Methanol is then added to the hot mixture until solution is almost complete, the mixture is filtered and concentrated to remove most of the methanol, then cooled with the addition of ice-water. Filtered, dissolved the resulting solid in ethyl acetate, extracted with brine. Dried the organic layer (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated to obtain 53.5 g (98.5%) of the oxime as a yellow solid.
