Hydrochloric Acid → 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydronaphth[2,3-d]oxazole-2-aldoxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chloral (10.7 g in 20 ml of water) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (4.5 g in 10 ml of water) was added simultaneously to a solution of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3-amino-2-naphthol (7 g) in 50 ml of water containing 3.8 ml of concentrated HCl at 60°-70° C. The reaction mixture was neutralized with sodium acetate (25 g) to keep the PH 4.5 over a period of 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled, filtered, and dried thoroughly to give 8.5 g of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphth[2,3-d]oxazole-2-aldoxime as dark solid product.
