Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 76309304, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Toluene (26 ml) and conc. hydrochloric acid (1.1 ml) were added to 2-(2-phenoxyphenyl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamide (E/Z=6/94) (3.48 g, 0.013 mol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, water (80 ml) was added. The mixture was extracted with ether (80 ml), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane) to give (E)-2-(2-phenoxyphenyl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamide (3.25 g, Yield: 93.4%).
