Participants

Reaction Steps

15 g of 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanone are added dropwise to 170 ml of a 40% aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide. To this emulsion are then added, in increments, 31.2 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and the mixture is stirred for 4 h at 0°-5° C. The reaction mixture is then acidified with 150 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid, the precipitated product is isolated by filtration, washed with water and dried, giving 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanone oxime having a melting point of 88°-90° C.
