Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,3-dimethylindan-1-one (1.16 g, 7.21 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.31 g, 18.8 mmol) in MeOH (20.0 mL) was added a solution of sodium hydroxide (765 mg, 19.1 mmol) in water (10.0 mL). The mixture was heated to 80° C. for 2 h. The cooled reaction was concentrated in vacuo and partitioned between DCM and water. The organic layer was separated and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as an oil (1.23 g, 97%). LC/MS: Rt=1.61 min, ES+ 176 (AA standard).
