Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → 4-amino-2,6-dichloro-N'-hydroxy-alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzeneethanimidamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

NaOCH3 30% (0.592 mole) was added to a solution of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.1085 mole) in CH3OH (200 ml), stirred at RT. The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. Intermediate (3) (0.0542 mole) was added portionwise and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred and refluxed overnight. The solvent was evaporated. The residue was partitioned between CH2Cl2 and water. The organic layer was separated, dried, filtered and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was stirred in DIPE, filtered off, washed with DIPE, and dried, yielding 3.7 g (26%) of 4-amino-2,6-dichloro-N′-hydroxy-α,α-dimethylbenzeneethanimidamide (intermediate 17).
