1-Indanone → 2,3-Dihydro-1H-inden-1-one oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Indanone (4.00 g, 30.3 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (5.26 g, 75.7 mmol) were dissolved in a mixture of methanol (40 ml) and pyridine (10 ml) and stirred for 3 hours at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resultant residue was diluted with 1N HCl (100 ml) and extracted three times with methylene chloride. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to provide 4.13 g (93% yield) of the desired 1-indanone oxime as white needles.
