Hydroxylamine → N'-hydroxyoctanimidamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Octanonitrile (1 g, 7.99 mmol) and hydroxylamine (50% in water, 0.74 cm3, 0.79 a 12 mmol, 1.5 eq) in EtOH (1 cm3) were stirred at room temperature for 7 days. Water (10 cm3) was then added. This caused crystals to precipitate, these were collected by filtration and dried in high vacuum line to give the product N′-hydroxyoctanimidamide (0.94 g, 74.6%) as a white solid, mp 73-75° C.
