Water → 1-(2,6-Difluoropyridin-3-yl)ethanone oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydroxylamine sulfate (13.1 g) and sodium acetate (10.9 g) were added to a solution of 1-(2,6-difluoropyridin-3-yl)ethanone (4.18 g) in aqueous THF (50%, 200 mL), and the reaction solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. Water and ethyl acetate were added to the reaction solution, and the organic layer was separated. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (carrier: Chromatorex NH; elution solvent: ethyl acetate) to obtain 2.44 g of the title compound.
