Procedure

3-Ethoxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (12.0 g, 0.0666 mol) and N-(4-methylpent-2-yl)hydroxylamine (9.36 g, 0.0799 mol) were mixed into benzene (200 mL) with p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (1.0 g, 5.26 mol.). The mixture was refluxed for 16 hours under an argon atmosphere with a Dean-Stark trap to remove the generated water. The solution was rotary evaporated, dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with 5 % aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The title compound was obtained as a white solid (17.07 g, 91.8% yield), m.p. 87.2° C. (Rf =0.31 on a silica gel plate using hexanes;EtOAc, 1:1, v/v, as an eluant). The N-(4-methyl-2-pentyl)hydroxylamine precursor was obtained by sodium cyanoborohydride reduction of 4-methyl-2-pentanone oxime in methanol, with hydrochloric acid catalysis.
