Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 5-Bromo-o-anisaldehyde (6.45 g), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (2.2 g), sodium acetate (4.1 g) and acedc acid (20 mL) was heated at 100° C. with stirring for 1 h. Acetic anhydride was added (20 mL) and the mixture was refluxed for 8 h. The reaction mixture was poured onto ice water and the mixture was made basic by the careful addition of 50% sodium hydroxide. The product was extracted with ether, the ether extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was crystallized from ether/hexane to afford 5-Bromo-2-methoxy-benzonitrile.
