Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (1.05 g of 60% suspension in mineral oil, 0.63 g, 26.3 mmol) was washed with hexane, suspended in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) and then treated with benzyl bromide (2.7 ml, 22.8 mmol) A solution of the above oxime in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was then added dropwise and the resulting mixture was stirred at 22° C. for 18 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with dichloromethane, washed with water, brine and dried. Evaporation of the solvent and chromatography of the residue on silica gel (elution hexane-toluene, 8:2 to 1:1) gave 4.30 g (67% yield) of the title oxime ether as a clear oil. 1HNMR 400 MHz (CDCl3) δ (ppm): 5.12 (2H, s, OCH2), 7.3-7.44 (7H, m, aromatics), 7.68 (1H, d, aromatic), 8.04 (1H, s, CH).
