Sodium Hydroxide → 4-(Methylthio)-1,10-phenanthroline-2-carboxaldehyde oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 25 mL round-bottomed flask containing a solution of 4-methylsulfanyl-[1,10]phenanthroline-2-carbaldehyde (228.0 mg, 1.1 mmol) in ethanol (3.2 mL), a solution of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (707.0 mg, 10.2 mmol) in water (5.0 mL) was added followed by the addition of 10% NaOH until a precipitate was formed. The reaction mixture was heated to 90° for about 30 minutes, cooled to room temperature and the white precipitate was filtered, washed with cold water and dried. White solid (240.0 mg, 100%) was obtained.
