Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of Compound 3 (18.1g, 100 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (7.0 g, 101 mmol) in 100 mL of anhydrous methanol was refluxed under nitrogen for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, concentrated and partitioned between water and dichloromethane. The dichloromethane layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to yield compound 4 as a dark yellow-orange oil (14.1 g, 93.3 mmol, 93%). GC/MS, m/z=151 at tR=8.30 min (100%). LC/MS, [M+H]=152.
