Benzyloxyamine hydrochloride → 1-(Benzyloxyimino-methyl)-4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of crude 1-formyl-4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid methyl ester from Preparation 27 (22.9 mmol theoretical), sodium acetate (3.76 g, 45.8 mmol) and O-benzylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (7.32 g, 45.8 mmol) were stirred in methanol (100 mL) for 18 h. The methanol was removed in vacuo, water (100 mL) was added and the aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (50 mL×5). The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4) and were evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography using an eluting system of hexane/EtOAc (99:1) to yield the title compound (1.83 g, 26%). MH+304.
