Potassium Carbonate → 4-Methyl-1,3-oxazole-5-carbaldehyde Oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.50 g (4.50 mmol) of 4-methyl-1,3-oxazole-5-carbaldehyde [prepared from the corresponding alcohol (Chem. Ber. 1961, 1248) by Swern oxidation (Tetrahedron 34, 1651 (1978))] is initially charged in 3 ml of water and treated with 0.66 g (9.45 mmol) of hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 2 ml of water. 0.68 g (4.95 mmol) of potassium carbonate is then added. After 2 h, the mixture is filtered off with suction and the product is washed with water and dried at room temperature. The yield is 0.41 g (72.2% of theory).
