(Z)-Benzaldehyde oxime → N-hydroxybenzenecarboximidoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chlorine gas (7.9 g) was added to a cold (0° to -10°) solution of 12.1 g of benzaldoxime in 80 ml of chloroform. The mixture was stirred at -10° for half an hour and the solution of benzohydroximoyl chloride was used without further purification in an attempt to prepare the methanesulfonate as described in Example II-C. Work-up of the sulfonation mixture resulted in recovery of 9.4 g of unreacted benzohydroximoyl chloride, m.p. 50°-51°.
