Participants

Reaction Steps

DMSO (15 ml) is added with rapid stirring to a mixture of picramide (0.477 g, 2.09 mmol), O-benzylhydroxylamine (1.64 g, 10.3 mmol) and sodium methoxide (1.91 g, 35.4 mmol). The brown suspension is stirred at ambient temperature for 15 hr. The reaction mixture is poured into cold 0.12N aqueous HCl (200 ml). The resulting precipitate is collected, washed with water and dried to yield 0.444 g (87%) of DATB.
