Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → 4-Carbomethoxy-3-keto-2-propyl-tetrahydrothiophene oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 94.0 g (0.465 mole) of 4-carbomethoxy-3-keto-2-propyl-tetrahydrothiophene in 250 ml of dry pyridine was treated with 40.0 (0.576 mole) of hydroxylamine hydrochloride at 25°. The reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was partitioned between 1 N HCl and methylene chloride. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to afford 100 g (0.461 mole, 99%) of pure 4-carbomethoxy-3-keto-2-propyl-tetrahydrothiophene oxime as a colorless oil.
