Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-ethyl-3-(3-formyl-4-methoxyphenyl)propanoate (1.06 g, 4.01 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (293 mg, 4.22 mmol), pyridine (1 mL) and ethanol (20 mL) was refluxed for 6 hours. After cooling, the mixture was concentrated and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, which was washed with 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid, saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: n-hexane:ethyl acetate=6:1 v/v) to afford 1.00 g (89%) of the title compound as a pale yellow oil.
