Ethylbenzene (2 ml), t-butyl nitrite (4 mmol), N-hydroxyphthalimide (0.4 mmol), and acetic acid (2 ml) were placed in a flask and were stirred at 80° C. in an atmosphere of argon gas for 2.5 hours. The resulting mixture was further treated with sulfuric acid having a concentration of 98% by weight (200 mg) with stirring at 70° C. for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was then neutralized with sodium hydroxide and was analyzed to find that acetophenone oxime, (1-nitroethyl)benzene, acetophenone, and α-methylbenzyl acetate were formed in yields of 61%, 1%, 8%, and 5%, respectively.
