Reaction Steps

30.6 g (0.13 mol) of 4-n-heptyl-phenoxy-acetonitrile, 18.1 g (0.26 mol) of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 27.6 g (0.26 mol) of sodium carbonate are stirred at reflux temperature in 100 ml of ethanol and 200 ml of water until the reaction is complete (approximately 24 hours). The entire reaction batch is subsequently introduced into water, and the mixture is extracted using methylene chloride. 34.3 g (99.8% of theory) of 4-n-heptyl-phenoxy-acetamide oxime are obtained.
