Procedure

To a solution of 42 g (1.05 mole) of sodium hydroxide in 500 ml of water, there was added 73.0 g (1.05 mole) of hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Subsequently, 148 g (1.0 mole) of phthalic anhydride was added to the solution and the resulting mixture was stirred at 90° C. for one hour. A solution of 30 g of sulfuric acid in 100 ml of water was added to the reaction mixture from which pale yellow solids had been precipitated out and the mixture was stirred for additional 30 minutes. The pale yellow solids were filtered off and recrystallized from a benzene/ethanol mixed solvent to give 132 g of the title compound: N-hydroxyphthalimide.
