Water → methyl N-[2-chloro-5-(1-hydroxyiminoethyl)benzyl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.0 g of methyl N-(2-chloro-5-acetylbenzyl)carbamate was dissolved in 10 ml of ethanol, and 1.5 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, 3.0 g of sodium acetate and 5 ml of water were added thereto, followed by reflux under heating for 4 hours. After completion of the reaction, water was added to the reaction mixture, extraction with ethyl acetate was carried out, the organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The obtained crystals were washed with hexane to obtain 5.2 g of methyl N-[2-chloro-5-(1-hydroxyiminoethyl)benzyl]carbamate as colorless crystals (m.p. 124-127° C.).
