Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzophenone oxime (3.94 g, 0.02 mol) in dry THF (40 ml) is added finely powdered NaOH (0.08 g) and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (4.25 g, 0.0206 mol). The mixture is then stirred 22 h at room temperature under argon. The turbid mixture is thereafter filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is crystallized from acetonitrile and again from acetonitrile-dichloromethane-hexane to afford 2.93 g of the title compound as a colorless solid, mp. 104-107° C.
