Reaction Steps

Anthranilonitrile (1 g, 8,5 mmol) and hydroxylamine (50% in water, 0.57 cm3, 9.3 mmol, 1.1 eq) in EtOH (42.5 cm3) were stirred under reflux for 24 hours, after which the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and residue was partitioned between water (5 cm3) and CH2Cl2 (100 cm3). The organic phase was evaporated to dryness in the rotary evaporator followed by high vacuum line to give the product 2-amino-N′-hydroxybenzimidamide (1.16 g, 90.3%) as a solid, mp 85-86° C.
