Ethanol → tert-Butyl{6-chloro-3-[(hydroxyimino)methyl]pyridin-2-yl}carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

15.45 g (60.2 mmol) of tert-butyl (6-chloro-3-formylpyridin-2-yl)carbamate (Example 106A) are introduced into 750 ml of ethanol, and a solution of 225 ml of water and 9.38 g (120.4 mmol) of sodium acetate is added and stirred for 5 min. A solution of 225 ml of water and 8.36 g (114.4 mmol) of hydroxylamine hydrochloride is added, and the mixture is stirred at RT for 4 h. The reaction mixture is concentrated in a rotary evaporator at 20° C. The residue is taken up in ethyl acetate and washed twice with saturated sodium hydroxide carbonate solution and once with saturated sodium chloride solution. The organic phase is separated off, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated in a rotary evaporator at 20° C. 15.5 g (80% of theory) of the product are obtained as a solid.
