Reaction Steps

N-chlorosuccinimide (8.1 g, 61 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-tert-butylbenzaldehyde oxime (9 g, 50.1 mmol) in DMF (50 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 cooled 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-hydroxyiminomethyl-4-tert-butylbenzene was obtained as a yellowish solid (10.7 g).
