Participants

Reaction Steps

11 cm3 of a 70% aqueous solution of perchloric acid is added at ambient temperature to 4.6 g of 3-methoxy methylidene quinuclidine (Heterocycles 244, 4-971 (1986)) in solution in 46 cm3 of chloroform. After one hour of contact, 2.5 g of methoxylamine hydrochloride in 10 cm3 of water and 10 cm3 of methanol is added and the reaction medium is maintained in this way for one night, and is then concentrated, alkalized with 2N sodium hydroxide, extracted with ethyl acetate; the solvents are evaporated, and the residue is taken up in ethyl ether and filtered. The filtrate is distilled at 150° C. under 0.08 mbar and 3.2 g of expected product is obtained.
