Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 15287762, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydroxide (40% aqueous solution, 12.9 g, 0.129 mol) was added over 20 minutes to a stirred mixture of diethyl maleate (17.3 g, 0.1 mol) and hydroxylamine sulfate (25% aqueous, 39.0 g, 0.059 mol) during which the reaction temperature rose from 28° C. to 53° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes under nitrogen. The mixture was transferred to separating funnel, methylene chloride was added (50 ml), the organic layer was collected dried using anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to give diethyl N-hydroxyaspartate (18.5 g, 0.99 mol, 90% yield).
