Water → 4-fluoro-2-methylsulfanyl-benzaldehyde-O-methyl-oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 250 mL round bottom flask was charged with 4-fluoro-2-methylsulfanylbenzaldehyde (5.106 g, 30 mmol), O-methylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (3.758 g, 45 mmol), sodium acetate (6.124 g, 45 mmol), water (50 mL) and THF (75 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h and taken up into ether (300 mL), washed with water (2×50 mL) and brine (50 mL). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give 4-fluoro-2-methylsulfanyl-benzaldehyde-O-methyl-oxime (5.892 g, 99%) as a white solid.
