Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → (NE)-N-[(5-bromo-2-fluoro-3-methylphenyl)methylidene]hydroxylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-bromo-2-fluoro-3-methylbenzaldehyde (3.5 g, 16.2 mmol) in ethanol (50.0 mL) were added sodium acetate (2.0 g, 24.3 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.69 g, 24.3 mmol) at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated on rotavapour to obtain crude compound, which was washed with water filtered and dried under vacuum to afford the title compound as a white solid: mp 126-127° C.; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.32 (s, 1H), 7.73 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.51 (s, 1H), 7.34 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 2.25 (s, 3H); ESIMS m/z 232.10 ([M+H]+).
