Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 53720923, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 4-[4-(4-cyanophenoxy)butoxy]-3-methoxy-N,N-bis(1-methylethyl)benzamide (500 mg, 1.18 mmol) in 2 mL of water and 8 mL of ethanol is treated with sodium hydroxide (57.7 mg, 1.34 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (90 mg, 1.29 mmol). After refluxing overnight, the reaction is partitioned between dichloromethane and brine. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting material is purified by chromatography on silica gel (15 g) with ethyl acetate as the eluent to afford 4- [4-[4-[amino(hydroxyimino)methyl]phenoxy]butoxy]-3-methoxy-N,N-bis(1-methylethyl)benzamide as colorless crystals, mp=63°-65° C.;
