Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

0.24 mL of N-methylimidazole was added to a solution of 0.39 g of 4-(methoxyimino)-1-phenylbutan-1-ol in 4 mL of acetonitrile. Thereafter, 0.19 mL of methanesulfonyl chloride was added to the mixture at a temperature of 0° C. to 10° C., and the thus obtained mixture was then stirred at a temperature of 5° C. or lower for 1.5 hours. Thereafter, 0.24 mL of methanesulfonyl chloride was added to the reaction mixture, ethyl acetate and water were then added thereto, and the water layer was then removed. The organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, and was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After that, the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. The obtained product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=90/10 to 59/41), so as to obtain 0.07 g of (4-chloro-4-phenylbutylidene)(methoxy)amine in the form of a light yellow oily product.
