Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-phenylcyclobutanone (0.198 g, 1.354 mmol) in 95% ethanol (7 ml) was added 50% hydroxylamine in water (0.8300 ml, 13.54 mmol), and the reaction was stirred for 16 hours at ambient temperature. The reaction was diluted with EtOAc and washed with water and saturated sodium chloride. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to yield 167 mg of the title compound (76.49% yield).
