Hexanal → HCID 54555763, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of hexanal (5.0 g, 50 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (3.8 g, 55 mmol) in 60 ml of methanol is shaken under hydrogen at 40-45 psi (2.8-3.15 Kg/cm2) for two hours at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of 5% platinum on carbon (400 mg). The reaction mixture is then treated following the procedure given in Example 1 to give 4.2 g of crude N,N-di-n-hexylhydroxylamine product as a white solid. The product is identified by 90 MHz 1H NMR and is seen to be contaminated with no more than 5% of hexanal oxime.
