Procedure

Ethylbenzene (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 80° C. in an atmosphere of argon gas (1 atm=0.101 MPa) for 20 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was analyzed to find that acetophenone oxime, (1-nitroethyl)benzene, acetophenone, and α-methylbenzyl acetate were formed in yields of 47%, 4%, 17%, and 14%, respectively.
