Reaction Conditions

Temperature80 °C

Reaction Steps

Cycloheptane (1 ml), t-butyl nitrite (1 mmol), 4-chloro-N-hydroxyphthalimide (0.2 mmol), and acetic acid (1 ml) were placed in a flask and were stirred at 80° C. in an atmosphere of argon gas (1 atm=0.101 MPa) for 20 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was analyzed to find that cycloheptanone oxime, nitrocycloheptane, cycloheptanone, and cycloheptyl acetate were formed in yields of 16%, 4%, 6%, and less than 1%, respectively.
