Reaction Steps

N-chlorosuccinimide (4.63 g, 34.7 mmol) was added to a solution of benzaldehyde oxime (3.5 g, 28.9 mmol) in DMF (30 ml) at RT, causing the temperature to rise briefly to 50° C. The reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath, stirred for 3 h at RT, mixed with water (100 ml) while being pooled with ice and extracted with ether (3×100 ml). The combined organic phases were washed with water (150 ml) and sat. aq. NaCl solution (150 ml), dried and the solvent was removed under vacuum. The desired product 1-chloro-1-hydroxyiminomethylbenzene was obtained as a yellowish solid (4.28 g).
