Reaction Steps

To a suspension of (2Z)-{[(6-aminopyridin-2-yl)methoxy]imino}(phenyl)acetonitrile (4 g, 15.85 mmol, 1 eq.) in iPrOH/H2O (10/1, 110 ml) were added hydroxylamine hydrochloride (3.30 g, 47.56 mmol, 3 eq.) and potassium carbonate (6.57 g, 47.56 mmol, 3 eq.). The reaction was heated to 80° C. for 6 h and the solvent was evaporated to ¾th. The residue was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 ml) and washed with aq. sat. NaCl. The organics were combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give (Z)-2-{[(6-aminopyridin-2-yl)methoxy]imino}-N′-hydroxy-2-phenylethanimidamide (5 g, 99% yield) as a white solid.
