Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromobenzonitrile (5.0 g, 27.5 mmol) in ethanol (42 ml) at room temperature, hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.91 g, 27.5 mmol) and DIPEA (4.8 ml, 27.5 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 5 hours. After cooled to room temperature, the resulting mixture was concentrated to yield a colorless viscous liquid. The liquid was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and then concentrated to give a crude compound, which was washed with n-hexane to yield product 15 as a white solid (5.0 g).
