Sodium Chloride → N-[1-(4-aminophenyl)ethylidene]hydroxylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-(4-amino-phenyl)-ethanone (2.75 g, 20.3 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride salt (2.1 g, 30.5 mmol) in ethanol (200 ml) was added sodium hydroxide (4.1 g, 101.7 mmol) in water (50 ml). After stirring for 18 hours, the mixture was treated with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (100 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane (200 ml). The organic extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 1-(4-amino-phenyl)-ethanone-oxime (30% yield).
