Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.11 g of methoxylaminehydrochloride, 20.87 g of benzylbromide and 25.8 g of sodium carbonate in 50 ml of dimethylformamide is heated at 85° C. for 4 hrs. The reaction mixture is treated with ether and water. The organic phase is separated and washed with water, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure. Flash column chromatography of the residue affords the title compound as a clear colorless oil.
