Ethanol → 5-Hydroxyiminomethyl-2-methylnitrobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3.00 g of 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzaldehyde, 1.64 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, 30 ml of ethanol and 15 ml of water was added 2.24 g of sodium acetate at room temperature, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was added to water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 2.77 g of 5-hydroxyiminomethyl-2-methylnitrobenzene. 5-Hydroxyiminomethyl-2-methylnitrobenzene
