Chromanone → 4H-1-Benzopyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-, oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chroman-4-one (46.5 g, 314 mmol) was dissolved in pyridine (160 ml) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (51 g, 734 mmol) was added to this solution. The solution was refluxed for 8 hours and then cooled to room temperature. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between water and chloroform. The organic layer was washed with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The precipitate was filtered, washed with diisopropylether, and dried to afford chroman-4-one oxime (22.9 g, 275 mmol, 88%) as white crystals.
