Chlorosuccinimide → (Z)-N-hydroxy-4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzimidoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde oxime (9.5 g, 46 mmol) in DMF (80 ml) was added N-chlorosuccinimide (8.0 g, 60 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at RT for 5 h. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in EtOAc, and washed with H2O, brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The solid residue was used without further purification for the following step. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.78 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 7.13 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 2H).
