Benzaldehyde → (Z)-Benzaldehyde oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

10.6 g of benzaldehyde, 7.0 g of hydroxylamine HCl salt and 14.0 g of potassium carbonate were suspended in 200 ml of methanol, and were stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the methanol was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 12.0 g of the above identified compound as a white crystal (yield 99%).
