Hydroxylamine → 4-Phenylcyclohexanone oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-phenylcyclohexanone (1.50 g, 8.609 mmol) in 95% ethanol (20 ml) was added 50% hydroxylamine in water (5.276 ml, 86.09 mmol), and the reaction was heated to reflux for 1 hour. The reaction was allowed to cool to ambient temperature, and the product was precipitated by the slow addition of water. The solids were collected via filtration to yield 1.0 g of the title compound (61.38% yield).
