Participants

Reaction Steps

According to General Procedure A, hydroxylamine hydrochloride (2.26 g, 32.5 mmol), was added in one portion to a solution of NaOMe, freshly prepared from sodium (0.75 g, 32.5 mmol) in methanol. The resulting mixture was stirred 1 hour at room temperature, during which time a precipitate was formed. (2-Naphthalenylsulfonyl)acetonitrile (3.0 g, 13.0 mmol), was added in one portion and the resulting mixture heated to reflux a total of 24 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and then to 0° C. to give a precipitate. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried in vacuo to give a white crystalline solid (2.75 g, 80%) which was of sufficient purity for use in the subsequent reaction.
