Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.1 mol of p-aminobenzaldehyde ethylene glycol acetal in 100 mL of anhydrous THF is added dropwise over 10 minutes to a solution of 0.1 mol of glycine tert-butyl ester isocyanate and 0.35 mol pyridine in 100 mL THF at room temperature under N2. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After 2 hours the solvent is removed by rotary evaporator. A solution of 0.11 mmol hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 0.1 mol trimethyl orthoformate in CH3OH is added, and the reaction mixture is heated to reflux under N2 for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is reduced to about 1/4 volume by rotary evaporator, and water is added. The product, N-[4-(hydroxyiminomethyl)phenyl]-N'-tert-butoxycarbonylmethylurea, is isolated by filtration and dried in vacuo.
