Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of phenylacetic acid (2.04 g) in 50 mL of DMF was added carbonyldiimidazole (2.7 g). The mixture was stirred for 20 min and then benzene amidoxime (2.04 g) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 20 min at r.t. and 18 h at 75 ° C. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured in to 50 mL of water and extracted with 2×50 mL of 1:1 hexane/EtOAc. The extract was dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 1:5 EtOAc/hexane to give 2 g of the title compound as a yellow syrup.
