Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Seven and eight-tenths grams of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde were added to 100 ml. of an aqueous solution held at -15° C. containing 7.8 g. of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 5.5 g. of sodium cyanide. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at about 0° C. and then filtered. Four g. of 3,4-dihydroxymandelamidoxime monohydrate formed in the above reaction were obtained melting at 151° C. with decomposition (after loss of water of crystallization at about 120° C.) yield=36%
