Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → 3-Cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.473 g, 6.8181 mmol) and sodium acetate (0.56 g, 6.8181 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of compound of Formula II (0.5 g, 2.2727 mmol) in ethanol (8 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 50 minutes. Ethanol was evaporated under reduced pressure, which was diluted with water (20 mL) and the organic compound was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×15 mL). The ethyl acetate layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford compound of Formula III. Analysis by 1H NMR spectroscopy gave the following peaks (CDCl3): 9.84 (s, 1H), 8.07 (s, 1H), 6.84-7.24 (m, 3H), 4.79-4.83 (m, 1H), 3.87 (s, 3H), 1.62-2.18 (m, 8H).
