Water → 2,3-Difluoro-6-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.5 g of 2,3-difluoro-6-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde in 8 ml of ethanol was added 0.4 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and a solution prepared by dissolving 0.23 g of sodium hydroxide into 2 ml of water and the mixture was heated at reflux for 40 minutes. The reaction mixture was allowed to room temperature, then concentrated under reduced pressure and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract obtained was washed with water and with saturated saline solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After concentrating the extract solution, the crude product obtained was washed with n-hexane to obtain 0.24 g of the title compound (mp. 111-112° C.).
