Procedure

A mixture of 3.73 g. (0.17 mole) of 4-methoxy-4-(p-methylphenyl)cyclohexanone (prepared as in Example 28), 3.75 g. of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 7.5 ml. of aqueous 50% potassium hydroxide solution in 70 ml. of ethanol is heated at reflux for about 4 hours. The solvent is removed under vacuum and the residue dissolved in water and ether. The organic layer is washed with water and brine and evaporated to dryness to give 4.04 g. (99%) of product. A sample recrystallized from aqueous methanol gives pure 4-methoxy-4-(p-methylphenyl)cyclohexanone oxime, having a melting point of 114° to 115.5° C.
